Some people develop a sense of confinement that results in endless banging on doors and the shaking of gates. There are others that carers misidentify as making "persistent attempts to escape" that may really be a fear of confinement. Both problems can be solved by taking them through the door for a short "walkabout" that brings them back to where they came from. Without a sense of direction, they will probably not realise that they are back or object if they do. Their goal was to get through the door, which is different than making an escape.
