In our family we are very familiar with dementia and senility. This is not it. He has always been repetitive (I suspect rather autism or OCD). For as long as I can remember he has always retold the same story in the exact same words to me, knowing full and well that he has told me it 12 times or more before. His mother was exactly the same. But it has gotten worse. Maybe it is because I have spent more time with him recently so he gets more opportunities to tell the same story. In this family we are on the outlook for dementia etc though. But he is aware of his repetition. It is compulsive rather than forgetful. It is just that he tells his conspiracy theories more often, explaining them in the exact same details he did before. it is more annoying than worrisome.
