- S2 ep2 after the coolant leak Lindstrom is seen spitting something out and gagging. It's not too triggering as it's with no sound at all and barely lasts a second.
- S4 ep1 Bill throws up into a little paper bag. It's not too bad and barely lasts a second. It happens almost directly after Sam starts calling his name in the space station - only sound and no visualization at all.
- S5 ep19 about 9 minutes in or so. It's after John is on a phone call about radiation poisoning. The scene changes and you hear someone retching, the scene changes again and we see the person over a toilet with their head in it.
- puking is mentioned in other episodes but that's the only times it happens

Rodney Mckay is not explicitly described as autistic, but some fans believe that he is, so does his actor. He struggles with social cues and is curt. He is very anxious all of the time. He is self centered and gullible. Some infer this behavior to be autistic traits, some do not.

It's not exactly dementia/alzheimers, but the entire plot of The Shrine is a main character having a very similar illness and another character specifically compares it to alzheimers. Best to skip 5.06 if you are sensitive to memory loss and that kind of thing because its really tough to watch
