Never heard of childhood dementia before, and apparently many people were like me before watching the video, so I am spreading awareness.

    No idea about this particular girl, but there’s plenty of authentic disorders that can cause childhood dementia:

    • Batten Disease (Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinoses, NCL)
    • Sanfilippo Syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III, MPS III)
    • Niemann-Pick Disease Type C, GM1 and GM2 Gangliosidosis (Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff Disease)
    • Leukodystrophies (such as Metachromatic Leukodystrophy and Krabbe Disease)
    • Mitochondrial Disorders (such as Leigh syndrome)
    • Rett Syndrome
