I now strongly do believe some thing within
humanness. Within in the mind.
can snap and become unrepairable
Which is why some people with dementia just stop speaking. Due to the anxiety and depression of uncertainty caused my disempowerment and social work unaccountability

Please repost. I was misdiagnosed and it took 4 years to get my diagnosis of Lewy Body dementia. It’s so important to get a correct diagnosis
Lewy Body Society@lbsorg

Call the helpline for free on 0800 888 6678. Please share: many people are misdiagnosed because the symptoms are so different than many other dementias. #Lewybodydementia #dementia

An essential point for me was this. I had to purse the joy in me in order to stay, functioning.
And I learned through pear support,
We all have something to contribute, we can still be
creative, we can continue to be engaged
When embracing the things which make us smile.

This sentence is obscene. Why are we punishing the people trying to prevent disaster while allowing the oil company giants causing it to reap super profits?

At @FoundationsHIA , my colleague @MarkPearce1969 is developing a tool to collect solutions for behaviours of concern. Your input would be appreciated and for any UK-based OTs, this would make a great CPD activity for your HCPC portfolio tinyurl.com/mub5acm8

This #DementiaAwarenessWeek our theme is 'Your voice, your choice, your future". Every person with dementia is different, & so good care will look different for them. People need the power to make choices on what matters to them - now & in the future 👉 pulse.ly/xz6nh4jxan

@dementiacentre @StirUni @SeatingMatters Suggest review literature on design related to neurodiversity and autism on seating as significant overlaps
English
We welcomed Seating Matters to the Iris Murdoch Building.
DSDC with @StirUni are working together with @SeatingMatters on an AKT Project. The goal is to scope research literature to review current seating practice and identify gaps to inform seating innovation for dementia care.

This⬇️claim is a lie or bananas
Since 80s, AD orgs have benefitted from rising dementia fear
Their "awareness raising" efforts have corresponded with dementia becoming the public's 2nd most feared condition (the leading fear among older people)
That's THE charity business model
Alzheimer's Society@alzheimerssoc
Our new TV advert isn’t an easy watch, but we know it shows a reality that resonates with a lot of people. If you have questions about why we’ve made it and how we worked with people directly affected by dementia, please take a look here: alzheimers.org.uk/news/2024-03-2…
