This week, renowned playwright and producer Aaron Sorkin revealed that he had a stroke late last year.
In an article from the New York Times, Sorkin has shared that his sense of identity, his own perception of his health, and his approach to life have all been affected—alongside the initial slurring of speech and physical barriers that affected him during his recovery.
“There was a minute when I was concerned that I was never going to be able to write again,” he told the New York Times.
While Sorkin may be a high-profile example of a stroke survivor, the number of people having a stroke equates to one every 40 seconds in the US, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and PreventionTrusted Source
