Man, 41, diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s disease reveals the early symptoms he experienced

Fraser shared a tragic story about his teenage daughter and how it helped him realise something was up (YouTube/ I (don’t) have dementia)

“I remember once, this is early on, I remember my daughter had told me numerous times throughout the day that she’d go to the movies that night and it would be sort of quite late with a friend, and it came to night time, and I started freaking out, thinking, ‘where’s my daughter?’, I was generally freaking out,” he told viewers.

“I was driving to the nearby town trying to see from other friends, if they were with, if she was with, if they’ve heard from her. And and it got to a point where I was about to ring the police, like I was that concerned.

“I’d been trying to call her, trying to phone message, trying to message her, and just not getting through to her at all. So yeah, really freaking out. And then she ends up calling me, saying, like, ‘Hey, Dad, I’ve just been in the movies. Remember, I told you?’.”

Fraser now has a system in place with his teen daughters that they now text him if they go out somewhere even if they spoke to him about it, just so he can look at his messages and remember where they went.
