According to the Canadian-based Aphasia Institute, “aphasia is a language problem that obscures a person’s innate ability and dramatically affects speech (speaking and comprehension) as well as reading and writing skills.” The story goes on under the ad The organization says it is a communication problem, but that those who live with aphasia understand what is going on around them, even if they cannot communicate well. However, aphasia can lead to deep social isolation due to the inability to communicate with others. “The easiest way to understand this is to think of yourself in a country where you do not speak the language. “You could not express yourself, understand others, read or write – but that does not mean you will not know what you want to say or communicate,” the institute wrote on its website. The Mayo Clinic adds that aphasia “usually occurs suddenly after a stroke or head injury. But it can also come gradually from a slow-growing tumor in the brain or a disease that causes progressive, permanent damage (degenerative).
