My dad has glioblastoma.. recently he has been trying to fix a lot of things that aren't broken (such as ripping apart remotes and attempting to take apart appliances). He seems to get extremely fixated on these things once he starts and has always been really handy so I understand why he is tried to do this, but he gets really aggressive and upset if you try to stop him.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to distract him from things when he fixates on them or tactics to prevent him from doing this all together? I am struggling with just letting him destroy things though I know I cannot logic with him that these things work, he just no longer can process how to use them :/
