My wife had Alzheimer's Disease. She recently passed away. But years ago when we were out, for example in a supermarket, at times she would make some unusual comment or behave in an unusual way. I would hand the person, who was wondering what was going on, a card that said something like, "My companion has Alzheimer's Disease, please be patient with her!"
That had the advantage of not embarrassing my wife with a discussion with others about her condition.

I have found these cards to be most helpful, particularly when dining out and traveling (both of which are becoming less frequent now!).
Lots of thumbs up, smiles, and thank yous.
