Sir Terry Pratchett and his rare Alzheimer's diagnosis Read about Sir Terry Pratchett's dementia diagnosis of posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), a rare type of Alzheimer's disease.

Terry Pratchett had a diagnosis of #posteriorcorticalatrophy, too. He wrote about his experiences here: www.alzheimers.org.uk/blog/terry-p...

Mum can't read and write any more, or recognise faces, or recognise objects. Put a cup of tea in front of her and she's oblivious to it until its pointed out.

#PosteriorCorticalAtrophy or #PCA is rare and often takes ages to diagnose. This is a short BBC case study

Mum's birthday tomorrow. She has #PCA, a #RareDementia and can no longer read and write. As a result, we have big, brightly-coloured recordable buttons.

One for where I am, one to read the online diary, and now one that says, "You're 87, dear!"

I just learned that our "Rehabilitation Services for Young-Onset Dementia" paper is cited in the #Wikipedia pages about:

- #PosteriorCorticalAtrophy
- #Frontotemporaldementia
- #Primaryprogressiveaphasia

My colleagues Emma Harding, @KeirYong & @mindmodels have created this free resource - it contains dozens of practical tips & strategies that people with #PosteriorCorticalAtrophy have told us that they find useful in daily life: https://pcatips.org/

This talk by my colleague @KeirYong summarises most of the current available scientific knowledge about #PosteriorCorticalAtrophy to date, with a particular focus on visuospatial functions.
