You are loved too, Henry xx

That’s dementia.

Intelligent and undemented people. His dementia has visibly progressed in the last week.

But visibly worse over the last week.

I don’t think he’s in control of his mind enough for that now.

100%.

I don’t think he can. He is in advanced dementia, has only got there in the last few days, and has lost inhibitions, which means even he can’t control what he says any more. He must surely be removed by the 25th now.

He is now in advanced dementia and declining fast.

Standard dementia- gaps in the memory filled in by fantasy which the patient believes in, along with loss of inhibitions so even they can’t control what they say any more. It will only get worse now.

It seems pretty clear that he’s fallen off a cliff in the last few days, and that’s losing his inhibitions. Which means even he can’t control,what he says any more. I don’t see how the US can let that continue.

Only while a person with advanced dementia is in charge. And that can’t continue, surely. He’s fallen off the cliff in the last few days. His inhibitions have gone and that means *he*can’t contro what he says any more. Can’t have that.

I would hve thought she’s thrown away her chance to lead by humiliating herself like that. If she’ll do that, what else would she do?

It’s Trump’s complete inability to work out when he’s making a total tit of himself and being laughed at by the other 7 billion people on earth that intrigues me. Most ppl have a “they’re laughing at me” detector. Not him.

Tim Montgomerie? As an arbiter of morality in politics? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

If you’re very selective sales can be good - I bought calendars half price as always. There are a few things I never pay full price for - eg coffee, mushrooms, calendars!

Mine is to block, instantly, people on social media I see being cruel, nasty, malicious etc. It’s not funny or clever and I don’t want to see it. So why should I When I can block them?

@keepfits.bsky.social hello Henry! Xxx

Asperger’s, but it’s not called that nowadays and we desperately need new terminology to distinguish the two.

Classic autism - Wikipedia

It took me three seconds to Google it. It’s another name for classic autism, which is not much like Asperger’s

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic...

And I agree that parents can be a positive hindrance when they don’t try to impose any limits. My son’s whole education has been about helping him to fit in with the world as well as possible, not to divorce him farther from it, as far as possible. He’s done well but is still profoundly disabled.

And that it’s a VERY different affair from something that some ppl actually call a gift. Kanner’s is not something I’d wish on anyone.

Yes, but MY point is that there are two very distinct types of autism, over and above the “they’re all different” cliche, and that very few ppl are familiar with profound/Kanner’s autism. All I try to do is remind ppl who have only heard of or met ppl with Asperger’s, as was, that Kanner’s exists.

I’m not going to argue about profound autism because I have lived with someone who is both profoundly autistic and severely learning disabled, for 34 years. I know what he can and can’t do.

No, it’s fine. I just feel I have to keep on pointing out that not every autistic person is otherwise able to live independently, function well intellectually and advocate for themselves. Profound autism is generally ignored in the public consciousness, unfortunately. My adult son is one of these.

That’s not the autism, it’s the learning difficulties that so often go with severe/profound autism. They are adults with adult impulses but don’t understand them. But since those people need 24/7 care, they won’t be out in jobs or in the general community anyway. They are disabled, not criminals.

Severe autism often goes with learning difficulties, because severe autism isn’t like the other end of the spectrum. But even that combination doesn’t make anyone a criminal.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Nor for being a murderer. My adult son is profoundly autistic and goes to sheltered workshops with many others like him. They are gentle, shy and childlike. Not criminals

@sirbenfro.bsky.social this reminds me of what happened to Tony’s flat - so many fires
