He has a stutter- a fact of birth, not dementia.
He has “senior moments” and can’t always recall, on the spur of the moment, the word he wants to use or confuses names of people or places. Not dementia, unless the vast majority of people, including many young people, suffer from dementia, as well.

Unless you’re different, better than the rest of us. Are you that “perfect” one?
