[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 133728, member: 1550"] First of all, are you comfortable that your son's diagnosis is correct? If so, do you feel he is capable of doing the "natural consequences" bit on his own or does he need his aide to help him learn how to do it? And does he need YOU to help him? My son is on the high functioning autism spectrum, no LDs, but definitely needs help. If anyone suggested I "enabled" him by helping him, I'd have had a big problem with that. He needed help--that's what making my son become more independent. He does not learn things on his own--he has to be spoonfed. This year he has developed good skills about bringing home homework, bringing it back, not forgetting, etc. It took a lot of time and hard work and I "enabled" him plenty, but he's learned at his own pace. Not all kids are ready to do everything themselves by age twelve. Some aren't ready by seventeen. Depends on the kid. [/QUOTE]
