When we first started to see symptoms he lost understanding of different words, such as shoes. One morning I asked him to get his shoes and put them on. That day after school when I asked him to take his shoes off he just looked at me. He had no idea what I was talking about. His loss of communication was very quick and this was dificult for both if us to deal with. He did hit understand what I was saying and was not able to communicate things he had previously been able to. This loss of independence we had become so reliant on was devastating and totally life changeing.

The most life limiting symptom is cognitive deficiency. Cognitive deficiency/decline would be the first symptom I'd remove.
