[QUOTE="Autismkids, post: 335482, member: 8756"] I don't have much success with my son's behavior, but I do with my daughter and she's "only" autistic. I made a house rules chart. Mostly positive; Keep your toys tidy instead of don't leave your toys out. Use nice words, instead of don't curse. There are more, but you get the point. Then we have a consequences chart. If you use mean words, you have to make an apology card. If you do not keep your toys tidy, they will go in time out. For your laundry issue, how many steps are involved? If "bring your laundry down" means put the dirty clothes in the basket, and bring the basket to the laundry room, that could be too much. I tell my daughter to put her dirty clothes in her dirty clothes basket. When she's done I tell her to put the dirty clothes basket in the laundry room. I break up the step for her so she knows what to do. For some tasks we have a step by step picture chart. My son's morning routine is extremelyyyyyy broken down. (Not the whole routine) Take off your pj top, put in the basket, take off pj bottom, put it in basket, take off diaper, put in trash, pick undies from drawer, put them on, etc. My daughter's is still broken down but not nearly as much. Take off pjs, put in dirty clothes basket, get dressed, eat breakfast, brush teeth, etc. Have you accepted that he's autistic and things have to be different? I know many people who will say that their kiddo is autistic, but still expect typical kid behavior from them. I expect decent behavior from my daughter, but I know I have to go about it in an entirely different way than her typical peer's parents. I'm lost with my son, so ymmv with all of this! LOL. [/QUOTE]
