    Per Dr. Cummings, the x's indicate that the behavior is frequently associated with the dementia type in that column.

    My DH covers most of the Stage 6 items, except he still feeds himself, and he eats like crazy rather than losing weight. For some reason, my previously health conscious eater is now obsessed with Pop Tarts!! I figure, let him have what he wants. I'm barely surviving this stage, not sure how I'll make it to/through 7

    Same here. He hasn't had much interest in any food lately but I think that's a result of being sick. We'll see how he's doing once he's fully recovered.
