The 36 Hour Day by Nancy Mace is a very informative book for caregivers. Videos by Tam Cummings and Teepa Snow are the go-to ones, but there are many out others there. "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova is a powerful non-fiction book about early onset AD.

I started a thread entitled "Books about Alzheimer's Disease ". It is on the General Caregiver's board and I brought it to the top for you.

I just read a book titled The Inheritance about early onset Alzheimer’s that was very educational. It’s about the history of Alzheimer’s and the scientists who worked on cures, and the families that participated in experiments.

Thank you all! My husband was diagnosed in late 2021 with MCI and continues to progress in his symptoms of AD. His father suffered with AD for almost 9 years and while we have always discussed this possibility, it's unbelievable how much you don't know when you think you do. He has both genetic markers - one from his father and one from mother, which came as complete surprise to us. While he's still in early stages, the changes are happening and I'm trying to adapt and be proactive in preparation (if there is such a thing)!
