Carey, the work you did in helping get these thing recognised cannot be underestimated. I know I can sometimes communicate verbally in a competent way, other times poorly, and sometimes not at all. But at all times I am aware that I am trying to.... if not for people here and on the older forums I would not have known what was happening because nowhere else told me.... it is good that it is now being described in terms that do not underestimate the people we are beneath our symptoms.

I too was moved by this sentence:' If communication is difficult, this does not necessarily mean that the patient is tired or depressed, or that there's something wrong with his intelligence.'

On the other had, we may be tired and depressed, and no able to communicate, but that too does not mean that we have anything wrong with our intelligence.

The people I have met here show a way above average measure of that!

Thank you so much
