@jatonlouise my husband has scored 13/30
on the MOCHA test two years in a row. His neurologist thinks he had early onset AZ. My husband is on the waitlist to be seen at Mayo. I am hoping he will go through all the rigorous testing this spring. He has good moments and not so good ones all day long. He is unable to write a note and is not open to occupational therapy. I have hopes that once we have exhausted every test that he will accept a diagnosis.

@upgirl2013 perhaps when they btief him on the results you could ask whether this could adversely affect his ability to drive and if so, how. I'm assuming you'll be in the room when they brief him. My husband has been present whilecI've taken these trst so he''s seen my diminished cognitive abilities demonstrated, which I think has been helpful especially since there was a time when his own approach to some problems used to ignore them. This was decades ago and he's learned that denial isn,'t to make something go away. His mother died when he was 6 and the other adults in his family gave him the "ignore it and it will go away" approach to his grief whenever he would be sad and cry about it.
