Hello, I am hoping to find other people in my community with early onset that are still active. My husband is a very active 62 YO with FTD who desperately wants to be out in the community helping and socializing to try and preserve, as best he can, his speech and communication skills. He hates being alone and I work fulltime. We do not have kids and no family in the area. He is embarrassed to hangout with his friends who pick on him or judge. He does volunteer at the food bank, can drive still, and rides his bike about 300 miles per week. Are there others out there is similar situations?
