We have been doing our projects on a specific brain disorder this past week, and I took a lot of notes on the ones that have been presented so far. Hailey and I did our project on Alzheimer's, which my grandpa has, and I've learned more about it. It's sad that he is never going to recover his lost memories, and he is never going to get better since it is a progressive disease. I already know he forgot who I am, or at least my name, because I haven't seen him in a long time. And last time I saw him all he could do was greet me with "honey" or "dear." After researching, I learned that someone with Alzheimer's should be in someone's care, and my grandpa should definitely not be living at home.
Another brain disorder I found completely fascinating was Savant Syndrom. I have never heard of it before this class, and I really enjoyed learning about it. I looked up Rex on Youtube when I got home that day; since the school's internet is really slow and we didn't get a chance to watch the entire video during class. He sings and plays piano, and he is amazing at both.
