[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 428963, member: 11791"] Janet - good news and bad news... depending on how you want to look at it... 1) word-retreival problems can be caused by learning disabilities... I'd have to go get my "book" and look it up again, but its definitely a real, diagnosis-able learning disability. Not that you can cure it - but it helps to know what it is, so hang on, I'll go look it up and edit this post afterwards. AHHH... there it is. Per "Smart Kids with School Problems"... a Learning Disability (LD) called "dysnomia". It affects speaking, writing, listening, reading... the faster you have to come up with the answer, the worse it is, and one-word answers are absolutely the worst. 2) the other possibility that comes to mind, because of either advancing age and/or the extra years that our difficult child's take off our mental health... is "alzheimer's"... or maybe both?
