[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 120217, member: 1233"] Lulu, I have to say it is wonderful to hear you be ready to let go of the idea that he needs an "external CEO" to get himself ready. It took my husband YEARS to get to that point, years AFTER I got there. So it was really really hard in the morning around here. What happens if after you get him up you don't say anything until you leave? Right now it probably won't have a good result. BUT... There is hope. My youngest was like this. Even my daughter would hassle him to get in gear. Oldest had no patience for it, and left him totally alone, thank heavens. I have been dealing with a new health crisis and a flare of an old one for several months. My mom or dad drives over to take him to school because the bus comes at a very early time and it is a 30 minute wait at school with-no adults between the drop-off and when the adults get there. Just isn't SAFE, in my humble opinion. Since this flareup, my turtle has gotten his own act together. He sees how bad mornings are, and most of the time, if I get up at 7:30 he is dressed and eating breakfast, or has already eaten. He often even has his backpack on, though he doesn't need it for almost an hour. I make sure what he wants to pack is available and he has packed reasonable lunches since he started school. (If I packed it he would flat out NOT eat it, no matter what. Mostly b.c he didn't pick it that day). I have been amazed, even though he is older than your son. He even makes sure his library books are taken care of! There is hope! Susie [/QUOTE]
