Alzheimer's can only be diagnosed AFTER DEATH. For that reason, the term "Dementia" is a more accurate choice.

Really? Well, I know a host of living patients diagnosed with it. Which doctor told you that? or Are you a doctor?

Gold standard for diagnosing Alzheimer's is autopsy, otherwise it's a dementia.

No, I am not a doctor.
There is no single diagnostic test that can determine if a person has Alzheimer’s disease. Physicians (often with the help of specialists such as neurologists, neuropsychologists, geriatricians and geriatric psychiatrists) use a variety of approaches and tools to help make a diagnosis. Although physicians can almost always determine if a person has dementia, it may be difficult to identify the exact cause. [Alzheimer's Association]

He is correct. There are about twenty kinds of dementia and you can only tell which was the patient had through autopsy.
