- There is a survey attached to this video for research please take a moment to complete. www.surveymonkey.com/r/V5DL3V2
Sarah is from the UK and Jack lives in Australia. Both have survived ischemic strokes as teenagers and are living with a condition called aphasia.
Thank you, Sarah and Jack, for sharing your stories so that other young people with aphasia can see that they are not alone!
This is really heart-warming that they're both making such good progress. I wish them all the best in the future.
Thank you Sean!
Sarah's progress is unbelieveable! I really admire you both, must have taken a lot of strength and hard work. You can hardly even notice anything "different" about either of them; they just sound like me when I'm tired. :) Good luck!
Just like all of your other videos, this was very encouraging! Thank you for posting. It has helped me a lot!
Two amazingly determined young people!! Go Sarah & Jack! Thank you for sharing & educating us on Asphasia xx
Inspirational stuff guys, currently studying to be a speech and language therapist and you guys are so much help. Thanks for helping by sharing your stories.
That you for this new video. I have been following your earlier videos. I am from Sweden and I had a severe stroke 2005 with aphasia. Today it is still affects me early in the morning or late at night but the rest of the day I can forget it. Look, I can even write this in English. There is hope. Good luck!
Good luck with your recovery Kjell :)
Attaboy. I had a TBI in 2020 and am mostly recovered. But I had so much help!!! Good Luck to you :)
Hey Jack! Great to see this video and to see how well you are doing. Only met you at camp such a long while ago but our thoughts are with you. You are doing so well - congratulations and Good Luck!
Jack I'm 29 and I'm in Vet School, so you can def be a Dr! You were the same age as me when yours happened! Don't give up! /hug
Good Video. Thank you for sharing. I trust that you're making steady Progress. I am in Kenya also recovering steadily since late 2012. Keep the faith.
I imagine like myself, many are just now learning about this disease and the amazing strength it takes to master it. I cannot imagine the frustration and patience it often requires. These patients are inspiration for sure. Aphasia Research will definitely be one of my donating causes now.
💜🙏🏼
Why do you think people are learning about it?

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 lmao whats up with ur username
this is wonderful!!! the progress is amazing! wishing you guys the best! :)
Feels when Sarah very coherently expressed how important it was to find others because it was so isolating. Shows how essential a positive, affirming, and shared experience can be toward recovery, without the added frustrations of trying to communicate and interact with people who may not understand.
Thank you for these posts!
it's just a wonderful and inspired , thank you for sharing and I am excited to see your improvements and updates . best wishes =)
Brilliant video, thanks of posting. And great work on your channel in general, I'll make sure to share it around as much as possible.
Thank you ;)
I'm glad you were able to meet while on holiday. Good video.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment :)
These are brave and resilient young people who struggle every day with what we all take for granted. I think they are amazing. ❤️🇨🇦
Wonderful young HAPPY people!!!
THANK YOU FOR SHARING WITH US!!!
I would have like to hear a little about what caused the stroke, as I had no idea teen could have strokes! I have young grandchildren & love to educate them on being healthy and careful!
Loved listening to you giggle!!! ❤❤❤❤
Such lovely young beautiful people may God richly bless you too.
I am studying linguistics and we learned about the types of aphasia in Psycholinguistics
You have progressed so far I don't know you personally but I am so proud. I also have aphasia but not the same loving support. Most people just act annoyed by me occasionally correcting me so I can learn, Most of my learning has come from speech therapy and will power. But I am thankful when friends and loved ones occasionally allow me to learn, In like real life application.
That's a shame, people can be very ignorant and cold, but never give up. There's people that believe in you ❤
It’s okay to say when people are not being helpful - friends and family need to learn too. It’s good you have willpower, never give up. Thanks for leaving a comment and for watching
Couple of cuties! Its a great reminder to slow and listen to people, and not assume theyre a certain way just by their appearance. Some disabilities are not visible.
Incredible, cute couple and hope they are/were still together. I checked out Sarah's latest updates and her improvement's are incredible. I Hope Jack is doing well!
Hi, I've watched all of Jack and Sarah's videos. The most recent one I have seen of Jack was 2013/4. Would love to see a more recent one and hear how he is going. I am a carer and have several clients who have had strokes, some with aphasia. Thanks
How difficult it would be to struggle with verbal, written and numbers communication.
These two look like heaps fun people. I'm sure communication would not be as dramatic as this interview would've have been.
Hats off to them. Keep going and just shine..
:-)
Why are people with Aphasia and/or MS are so sweet? Stay strong.
15yrs and 18yrs, respectively. How heartbreaking. 💔🥺
Your videos are great I hope you don't mind me using them in a lecture for my introductory psychology class as they learn about brain structures.
Thank you that's wonderful :) Good luck!
Would love to see an update on these two now!!!
You are an awesome and cute couple with a BEAUTIFUL spirit Jack , I really hope you become a great doctor someday :)
Are you guys still together? My cousin was affected by this too bit she didnt get much therapy after her stroke sadly. She cant make complete sentences but shes smart as a whip !! You guys are both doing great!
They would make a terrific young couple.Both are so supportive and accepting of their condition.All the best with your future.
I pray them both a lovely lovely life ..
Beautiful souls.
I barely notice anything Sarah. Well done!
Seeing the difference in Sarah between the video of her 4 years prior vs. this one is really incredible. She seems to have gotten a lot of herself back and seems much more present. It’s nice to see them both making progress here, and I hope they’re doing well today.
Is there more than 2 videos? I thought it was just 2, with a 2 year difference between the two.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 There's way more than two -
They have each other that's all that matters
The world is full of courageous and miraculous people
I couldn't say it better!
Hi Sarah, Jack, Joanie & Jack's Mum,
Thanks for posting the video - it's nice to see that whilst you were on holiday you had the chance to meet - I assume you had 'met' online a bit before the trip?
I always find it quite interesting with the Aphasia how you seem to flow quite well for part of a sentence and then come to a halt whilst you are trying to figure out the next bit you want to say - I wonder how that process is working in terms of the affected part of your brain, is it perhaps getting 'overloaded'?
I've always said that it must be frustrating to be able to know what you want to say but not be able to express it. I obviously know Sarah has her usual positive attitude and it seems Jack does as well. It would probably be all to easy to let it get you down so I admire the way you remain positive and look upon it as opening new doors in your lives.
I wonder if Jack had the same experience as Sarah amongst his friends & acquaintances - it has always saddened me to think that some of them became distant at the very time you needed them the most.
All of you keep doing what you are doing - it's great for those of us that have known you (Sarah & Joanie at least) for a long time to keep up to speed with how you are doing & I know you have reported it has been very inspirational for lots of people, which is something you should be extremely proud of!
Thank you! Sarah first met Jack about 5 months after her stroke, when her speech was very limited. They have both progressed a lot!
SymphUK Are they dating?
neoswordian91 no, unfortunately :)
Good kids. I am amazed.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Sarah's bloody gorgeous!
Yes she is and Jack isn't bad either!
She so sweet:)
@@SarahScottAphasia They're both much better versions of me that's for sure lol - ever
I came to know of Sarah just today. I wish her all the best.
What a good-looking and friendly couple...I hope they fall in love, get married and live happily ever after!
I’m so thankful I don’t have this. I had an AVM of the brain and in my medical records I had a stroke as well. I don’t have this medical problem. But anything can happen.
AWWWWW THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL ✨ APHASIA,
Aphasia sounds very similar to my ASD/Genetic Disturbance and any effects from hitting the head. Sometimes I wonder if I've had multiple strokes from TIAs.
I also have short term and long term memory challenges and difficult to know who I am.
I have some trouble speaking and have new tremors.
They're both adorable.
She's beautiful!
Wow havent heard of someone having a stroke that young
A fear I have is something happening and me developing aphasia.
I am young (20) but this videos shows anyone can have a stroke at any age, scary. I just can't imagine what it would be like to be thinking normally but you cannot communicate, it'd be like being isolated from everyone yet you are physically there and speaking.
To add to this, I fear something specifically like Wernicke's. These 2 have I think broca's? They just take longer to get their words out. Wernicke's is also known as fluent aphasia. A wernicke's patient will be speaking at a normal pace and thinking clearly but will say stuff that doesn't make sense. For example a response to "how was your day" could be "gleaming bread in the sunshine dog restaurant".
Is it all the time? Or from time to time? Is it only with certain people? Is it something you the one with the condition became aware of, or was it someone else noticed it?
Did you ever realise that people looked at you strangely or perhaps they were waiting for a response and you didnt give one but were thinking of giving one and just didnt????
Also is it only stroke that brings this on, or can it be possibly multiple traumatic experiences, accompanied with physical damage to the cranium?
Serious questions
God bless stay safe 🙏✝️ God bless them
I'm curious about ppl with aphasia using sign language. My stepson graduates this year and is studying sign language, my oldest daughter has also shown interest. I've been reading and watching videos about stroke and aphasia and I know for some it night help bridge that gap, just like writing and pictures can help bring the speech together that maybe couple that with sign language too.
I watched a video by a speech and language therapist who said that people who use sign language and have Broca's Aphasia are not able to use sign language anymore.
Good luck to them both, he’s a very lucky young man, she’s a beauty!
They're a couple? So cute. They're both handsome and lucky!
So this disease does not affect intelligence but deters how to speak the thought. They look so perfect.
He is gorgeous 😍😍😍😍
Amen. :-)
I had a stroke when I was 17. I’m 33 now. I had aphasia too.
You don’t have it anymore? If not how long did it take to recover ?
@@GoldPeakLLC my aphasia was never to the point where I couldn’t speak at all. I mean it was but it only lasted for like 4-5 days. And then when I left the hospital like 3 weeks later clearly they had me breathing on my own and I could say some sounds. So when I went into therapy I wasn’t starting completely from square one. So I definitely had that going for me. But I did intense intense speech therapy for the next 9 months. Honestly my speech is the only thing that went to like 95% of where it was before. My speech therapist would do memory games with us, obviously speaking aloud games, and writing with us.
@@kimisorensen4974 Speech therapy helped me so much. I was "lucky" - I only had it for six months following a TBI. Great story Kimi and best of luck with your improvement!
@@mjp96 thank you so much! I’m proud to say my speech is back at nearly 100%. My right hand however is not. But I’ll never give up!
i have aphasia, i have hemorrhagic stroke
Christ mate, that seriously sucks. I hope your recovery is getting better.
Damn, for some sentences of what she was saying, Sarah's symptoms were hardly noticeable
My brother has this. You guys can do a lot with aphasia like a lot of people. Become professional golfers, take sport classes like tae kwon do and become professional martial artists. Anything is possible.
If you search for Sarah and Jack they've done more recent videos and Sarah has just got married!
@@SarahScottAphasia Exactly. Aphasia is very much different from Autism. Their verbal speech is just slightly impaired. Only able to say a few words or half sentences.
my name is jack hurley, name is that same as his, crazy irony.
They had strokes as children? 🚨🚨🚨
So annoying when people say huh, sorry, pardon
He is such a cutie! :)
Aphasia is one of the least desirable conditions I've seen as a Psychology student. All the best from me to Sarah.
Speech apraxia sucks, had it all my life
i dont have aphasia but im an actor who's playing a character with Transcortical-motor aphasia and im trying to do research on it so im watching videos on it to get a better understanding
L-O-V-E
Thank you!
They should get together honestly. She likes him
In Sarah’s latest video she says she got engaged in Australia. 👍🏻
@@Fogmeister Aww - that's awwsome. What a cute couple.
