Wernicke’s Aphasia is the most common form of fluent Aphasia. People with Wernicke’s Aphasia may speak in long complete sentences without meaning, adding unnecessary words and creating made-up words. For example, someone with Wernicke’s Aphasia may say, “You know that smoodle pinkered and that I want to get him round and take care of him like you want before.” As a result, it is often difficult to follow what the person is trying to say. People with Wernicke’s Aphasia are often unaware of their spoken mistakes. Another hallmark of this type of Aphasia is difficulty understanding speech.
