[QUOTE="buddy, post: 506329, member: 12886"] Does he need to clean up all of the toys since this is such a huge battle? What about doing a "backwards chain " sort of a behavioral approach.... the visual field and change of activity (since we know he has a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)) may be overwhelming. Can you pick up all but six toys...then you take turns picking up the last six... mommy one... difficult child one.... mommy two...difficult child two... mommy three, difficult child three yeah yeah yeah!!! These kinds of tasks (more than for verbal or social exchanges) do have good supportive research for using more strict behavioral methods...not in a mean way, just in a do it (not a huge pressured thing) and get an immediate reward even if it is the classic m&M.... you may not need to take turns...maybe just do three then after a week five then add as time goes and his frustration tolerance builds/allows. But it can often be easier to do this than to say you only have to pick up five...and after mom or brother pick up the rest, does that make sense? the amount that is there to work on might just be too much for now. A first/then visual can help too.... I used to always have a white board that I morphed into whatever my son needed..I brought it everywhere...even fast food restaurants.... It said 1. FIRST............ 2. THEN and under it I drew lame pics but he got it or had velcro pics I stuck on it (a loop strip was there already) so I could say...first, eat....then play first pick up, then treat or movie or story or whatever more preferred activity you can think of. COuld be a bust but just throwing it out there I have seen it work with LOTS of kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) in home and in school.... [/QUOTE]
