This is the first time I've heard Matt Christman speak since he had the stroke last year. He read a political poem at the live show, but the video cuts off before the poem.
It sounds like still needs a script to speak, but he sounds good
Being able to see the letters, process them and connect them to the right speech sounds is very good.
This site has some simulations of aphasia to put it into context

Very interesting site. A lot of the descriptions about terms becoming incorrectly "associated" (the example I got was the word "hammer" conjuring the image of a screwdriver) sounds a lot like schizophrenia symptoms, but apparently they have very different mechanisms.
Really makes me feel bad for Matt, anyone who rants often is someone who thinks in paragraphs, so the aphasia must really be frustrating. Glad to see he's doing better
Anyone have his poem? I wanna read it!

I'd love to see the whole thing. Does anyone at least have a longer video?
