Back to a better future

My main takeaways from our discussion on Michael J Fox are three-fold. First, the age of onset for his Parkinson's disease was 26. 26! That's half of the age of the typical onset. I have to wonder what caused this outlier. Second, though I would never wish Parkinson's on anyone, because of who he is, Michael is able to use his platform to raise money and raise awareness for the disease. Lastly, as an OT, I would want to encourage him to log his thoughts and emotions as an outlet because he is very much walled up when it comes to his personal experiences. Humans aren't meant to keep these things bottled up.
