Personally, I would add NOW to these statements. Something that isn't there NOW, but was at one time, or was perceived to be there at one time when the person was much younger and could not understand what was happening. But in my experience staff did not give much credence to the suggestion that people were reacting to something REAL, but just not actually present now.
