Caregivers provide her with simple, repetitive tasks, such as holding her favorite stuffed animal, but she mostly remains passive and unresponsive to her surroundings.

He enjoys planning weekly outings with friends, confidently discussing details but often unaware of clutter around him that can disrupt his concentration. While he can manage most daily tasks independently, he occasionally needs reminders to check his appearance, as he may overlook items that are not immediately visible, like misaligned clothing or the back of his hair.
