[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 505805, member: 6546"] Terry-- I think (for your own sanity) that you need to stop being so "easy going". IOW - be tough! When difficult child wants to do something - you may have to start "grilling" him. When? Where? Who else is going? How are you getting there? How are you getting home? How are you paying for this activity? And I think difficult child needs to figure ALL that out BEFORE getting in the car... Right now - if he doesn't get it figured out...that's OK because you are figuring it out FOR him as he goes along his merry way. He needs to learn that he cannot assume - but he can ask. And if he is not sure, he can ask for your help. As an Aspie - this kind of planning might be something that appeals to him. Give him a "checklist". Who? What? When? Where? Just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
