I’m a direct support professional and one of my clients is autistic with dementia, she remembers lots of stuff but the dementia made her very violent and she used to have a great internal clock and that’s just gone now. But her memory isn’t too bad she just isn’t sure where she is in time. Dementia is different for everyone when it’s rots different parts of your brain away.
