Lorraine on Adult SLP Talk:

Undateables is a British TV documentary which looks at the world of dating from the perspective of people living with challenging conditions ... In series 2, episode 1, we meet 22 year old Sarah Scott. When Sarah was 18, her life changed forever. She suffered a stroke which left her with a condition known as expressive aphasia (difficulty speaking). Sarah’s physical appearance would not make you suspect any form of disability. Sarah’s aphasia is a hidden disability.

Female. 18 years old. Stroke. A good reminder that "risk factors" aren't minimum requirements, and certainly don't mean much to anyone but statisticians after the damage is done.
