Austin has NEVER handled Janice well, yet most of the others didn't seem to have a big problem with her (apart from Jenna). They just let her get on with it.

He could've done worse....

That's not really a good excuse. He was very rude, impatient and shouty at Janice. I'm sure she can be annoying, I'm sure all the batty grandma's and grandpa's in old peoples homes can be annoying but would you like your granny spoken too like that? Treated with impatience and disrespect because she's a bit eccentric? Called names, not listened too, shouted down. I wouldn't. Just because Janice is a bit batty doesn't mean she is worthless and has no feelings.

The irony is that age, and often a bit of battyness will come to us all. If treating people like that because they are elderly, or a bit mentally challenged is OK, are you looking forward to your turn?

You don't need to patronise me regarding the elderly and disability (i don't like the term mentally challenged).

Janice is not 'mentally challenged', she is deliberately winding Austin up, just as everyone is saying that they all can't be saying the same things about Austin and be wrong, well ditto about Janice. FYI i never said she was worthless and had no feelings, they are your words.

I look after and defend vulnerable young adults and have a respect for my elders, which hopefully in my old age will be delivered back to me, i've never advocated Austins behaviour towards Janice, if you look back on my posts i've said how disgusting his behaviour was.

I'm so pleased you are qualified to diagnose Janice as fine and just a wind up and its great that the gang agree with you about Austin, it must all be true then. Now you've been patronised, enjoy.

I've worked with vulnerable children, many with asbergers and autism in schools in a teaching capacity. I've had a disabled father and a granny who was batty as a hatter with dementia. See we both have credentials.

My daughters autistic

Are you going to have a go at the others on this thread that think she's 'nuts' or are you reserving that pleasure for me?

Why do people always think you are picking on them when you have a different view?

I think she's nuts as well, what I don't like is defence of Austin when he treats her poorly. It doesn't matter that she's nuts, she's a hoooman bean.

Because you focused your attention on me, when other posters in this thread also supported Austin and bad mouthed Janice.

FYI I'm entitled to my opinion and i hope Austin wins.

I've never known any elderly woman to act in the way that she does before. Sure some of them can rude and annoying, but Janice is on another level.
