[QUOTE="nvts, post: 79955, member: 3814"] Hi! I hate to tell you this, but I've been dealing with this type of thing for a very long time. My oldest difficult child (an aspie - ok, I'll admit it, I often think of him as a pain-in-the-aspergers!) was putting stuff all over the place - sometimes stuff that he actually cared about. I thought I was going to lose my mind! [img]:crazy:[/img] When we did the neuropsyche, the dr. explained to me that it isn't that he's just being a PITA, it's not important to him. In no way shape or form does it even approach the scale of importance toward his existance. What I did was think of the most disorganized, narcisistic boss that I ever had in my live and organized him. In theory, I should be able to hand him something and he'd put it in his folder and all would be right with the world. Get him a Trapper-Keeper. It has a folder for each class, folds closed (to prevent paper slippage) and allows him to carry his academic life in his hand. The rule is: he brings it to every class, goes into his backpack and NEVER gets put in the locker. Every day you have to review the Keeper. This allows you to have homework, tests, notices, etc. on hand as soon as it walks in the door. (Honestly, I don't even let him go to the bathroom until the Keeper is in my hand). After h-work is done, I put everything back in and it goes into the backpack. It seems infantile, but this kid was turning me gray faster than you can say "Loreal". I'm just not willing to yell about this junk anymore! [img]:thumb:[/img] It's worth a shot! Beth [/QUOTE]
