[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 315446, member: 1550"] My son is sixteen, so maybe he's older than yours, and he has a high functioning form of autism so he also doesn't like change. However, he has learned to deal with change and never melts down or rages...not for years and years and years. He likes to earn money so I offer him a list of chores that he can do to make certain amounts of money. He mows the lawn, does the dishes (not always the best, but he tries), does his own laundry and cleans his room without me even telling him to. He doesn't like a mess. He also will walk the dogs on his rollerblades...lol. He takes out the trash every night. So the money incentive works well here. He is eager, even asks if I have stuff for him to do. And the payoff isn't big. We don't have that much money to just dish out. At times he does things on his own or says, "You don't have to pay me. I don't care." [/QUOTE]
