  • Having more trouble coming up with words compared to other people who are the same age
  • Vision and spatial issues, such as awareness of the space around them
  • Impaired reasoning or judgment, which can impact decisions
  • Taking longer to complete normal daily tasks
  • Increased anxiety and/or aggression
  • Repeating questions
