This case study provides valuable insight into the overlap between PPA-ALS from a neuropsychological standpoint. The results reflect preserved cognitive skills in the context of loss of speech and motor abilities. This case study also shows the length of time between onset of symptoms and clear diagnosis, which often requires an immense amount of health literacy and personal advocacy on the part of the patient.
