Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

By Jasmine Laws and Dr A. Campbell Sullivan0ShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberSee more of our trusted coverage when you search.Prefer Newsweek on Googleto see more of our trusted coverage when you search.Growing up in Bellville, a small town in central Texas, I didn't know any psychologists or certainly any neuropsychologists, who treated conditions including dementia. The field was just something I fell into. During my first master’s degree, I needed a job and started working as a psychometrist, someone trained to administer neuropsychological tests. It turned out to be a good fit.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Newsweek.
