If i leave my mum alone - she will just lie down all day long. If i ask her to walk in a room with me, she'll refuse. If i insist - he will give me tantrums, and still will not leave a bad. So i give her choice - do you want to go and walk outside or inside, this way she agrees to walk, and we'll keep walking for at least 2 hours a day, as she doesn't have any other exsercises.

It seems to me that dementia and autism have something in common as to how we approach it.

never yell at them.

These are all good techniques, but my mom refuses to allow me to speak. If I try, she just screams over me, sometimes becoming violent and is always verbally abusive. There is no talking to her. What else can I do besides talking to her. She's always telling me to Shut Up and Go To Hell whenever I attempt to speak. She doesn't even know what I'm about to say...she just screams. She also seems to enjoy seeing me cry after she's beaten on me or has been verbally abusive with me.

I would act out too if I had to deal with her

Have lunch with him, and talk to him. 💕

We used to tie them to a chair and sit them on the front porch. It was a common practice only a few decades ago.

Is Alcoholic Dementia the same

😂😂😂😂😂 This is great! See one push on the right step fixes everything. 😅

Both of my grandmothers went coo coo bat shit. They didn't know who they were anymore. They would shit their pants regularly and freak out every time they did it. It was like caring for an infant, except more rigorous. I hope like hell that I don't get like that. I'd rather just die than put someone through the burden of caring for me. In fact, I would be all for being euthanized, should I ever get in that condition. I can't stand the thought of costing someone YEARS of time out of their lives that they won't ever get back. And the real kicker is, the person just dies anyway. No matter how well you take care of them.
