'It's the only disease where you're not supported to fight for your life': why Kate Swaffer is demanding dementia rights.
When Kate Swaffer was diagnosed with younger onset dementia at 49, she was told to prepare for the end. Instead she embarked on a mission.
That was about 16 years ago. Since then, she has come out swinging against the ways in which people living with dementia are treated - including being told that their lives are effectively over. In the process, she has sparked global conversations about the rights of people living with dementia.

'It's almost magical': how robotic pets are helping UK care home residents
Animatronic cats and dogs have helped staff at a Bedfordshire care home to avoid medicating some residents with dementia.
The cats, which purr and miaow, seemed more popular than the dogs, which bark along if spoken to. To complete the scene, a pair of plastic song birds twittered away as Sheila Brinkley, another resident, pursed her lips and whistled happily into their beaks.
The residents didn't appear to believe they were real animals, but neither did they consider them silly toys. While some ignored them, many instinctively engaged with their moving features, wagging tails and "bark back" and "vibrapurr" technologies.
An eight-month trial of similar pets in eight Cornish care homes last year found positive effects, although things didn't always end well for the pets. One was found with broken limbs (cause unknown), another was dropped in urine and a handful malfunctioned. And a quarter of residents didn’t interact with them at all.
The effect of the £100 animals on residents with dementia, especially when they are distressed, was "almost magical", said Lydia Endersby, Oak Manor’s activities coordinator. They have become another tool to help the care workers avoid medicating residents who are struggling.
