Before the present unpleasantness I would enable Ferretfingers to attend classes in art, craft, gardening or flower arranging with the Adult Learning Alliance.
In early 2019 we managed to get into two classes, both on a Tuesday.

Hats off
to Tesco, Norham Rd North Shields.
Ferretfingers and I go in there Tuesday lunchtimes between Adult Learning
Alliance classes to buy his telly magazines and any half price/bogoffs/best
befores we can find.
A few weeks ago the
piped music drove him, and me, into despair.
I
complained about it to the ladies at the self-service tills (he loves using
them so I allow it even though it goes against the grain).
Anyway…
Today
there was no music.
On the way out I
mentioned how nice it was for us to the security guard and he said
"We
noticed that, for some reason, we get a lot of learning disabled people in on a
Tuesday morning, so we're turning the music off to make it nicer for
them."
No great fuss, no self-congratulatory Autism Hour hype; just observant, caring
and considerate staff and management.
Which
is how it should be but so seldom is.
