If you or your LO strings words together that make no sense, it might be aphasia. Aphasia can be caused by a stroke or other brain trauma that damages the communication part of the brain. Recovery is possible for aphasia that is caused by things like stroke, head injury, explosion, etc. Recovery is not possible from Primary Progressive Aphasia. Aphasia leaves the intellect and memory intact but the ability to communicate is lost.

I'm still learning about it and want to share some information through this video: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t55td0iyGU  This has a long introduction; about 10 minutes. If you want to skip right to General Michael Hayden and Thomas Broussard\Engineer who are recovering from aphasia skip to about 10 minutes and 16 minutes in. Very interesting and hopeful stories from these two highly intelligent and accomplished men. There are also 2 experts in aphasia, which is a type of dementia, talking about the condition.
