I'm sure this is a subject that has been covered before and I'd realy appreciate any advice as we just don't know what to do with mum.
We're now at the point where she is demanding to go to the shops several times a day (at least three). She doesn't seem to want anything and most times tries to buy something she's already bought.
I personally feel that this is just progression of her condition but dad seems to think it's because she's bored.
What can we give her to do to alleviate boredom? Her attention span is just non existant so conversation, t.v., films are no good. She used to love playing computer games but she can't do them anymore so that's out. She doesn't seem able to read and again the attention is a problem there. I've tried to get her to do a jigsaw with me but she just point blank refused.
Is this the norm for everyone else? What is anyone else doing?
