I was disappointed to see that I have again been criticised for the way that I have posted something, despite it being known that I have cognitive issues following a brain injury.
I wonder if a person with dementia would be criticised for repeatedly not remembering something or someone with a stutter mocked for the way that they interact?

There are carers of those with dementia who may get incredibly frustrated and when they’re not with the person may criticise them. Is that right ? Probably not. Is it understandable ? Absolutely so. Patience is not an infinite resource and at times it will get stretched or torn. We are after all imperfect by nature
