My question is I knew that I had troubles early with blackouts, but I was around the age of 40. How many people are classified as young onset?

My husband was 46 and so has been 8 years this summer. He had a bad car accident that seemed to have pushed into overdrive the symptoms. He might have had late in life but car accident hugely accelerated the disease.

My husband had early onset - he was 42. Had a car accident giving him brain traumatic injury leading to long term complication of Parkinsonism - whatever trauma happened to his head and past traumas to his head pushed him over the edge - been 7 years now.
