(Understanding is better that judging) Disability Etiquette

The answers were: Burger King. Graham crackers. Assuming they aren't on a pureed diet because of swallowing problems, whatever the caregivers fix, usually whatever the caregivers feel like eating and/or spending the [edited]' money on. Sometimes fast food but keeping up with receipts and mileage isn't a strong point with minimum wage under-educated care staff (at least not the staff I had working for me), so they don't go out as much as you would think.
Then someone asked: How do (edited) people spend their free-time? The answers were: Keeping them occupied is easier that you think. Most of the time you can give them ordinary objects (a spoon, a piece of plastic, even a sock), and they can play with it for hours. My son likes the xylophone (he's 41), but doesn't use the beaters / stickers. He's delighted to hit the keys with his fingers, randomly, sometimes throw the xylophone against other things in his room, and has a fixation on the first and last keys. When he hits a key and it doesn't make a sound, he drops a very innocent smile. He enjoys it.

This is it. "He enjoys it". It doesn't matter why, or how. Some people do enjoy it.
