Anyone else a fan of the TV show Shrinking? I love Harrison Ford's curmudgeonly kind character. He has Parkinson's and the show does a great job of including the many parts of living with the neurodegenerative disease (and Michael J Fox cameos!). If you've ever wondered more about how this involves speech therapy this is a great article to read:
