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

    Yeah, I did some research and it’s really weird. The majority of sites that talk about it are Australian and it’s barely, if at all acknowledged anywhere else in the world. I found some sites that seems legit:

    https://rareportal.org.au/rare-disease/childhood-dementia-disorders/

    https://rarediseases.org/organizations/childhood-dementia-initiative/

    I think that maybe it wasn’t recognized before due to how rare and weird it is, like ptsd was, but I can’t say for sure if it’s not a scam.
