If she is being so rude as to speak for him, she perhaps deserves to be gently chastised. You could say, "I know Fred finds things difficult, but I have found that, given the time, most PWPs (including myself) can do a lot more than people give them credit for!" Alternatively, you simply IGNORE the carer's response, and repeat your question to Fred (?) starting it with "Fred, how ...". She SHOULD get the message! -- Jeremy Browne - [log in to unmask] Hampshire, UK
