[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 168893, member: 1991"] That's really good, Amy. Sometimes you just have to modify things. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is really phobic about cutting up raw chicken. She doesn't even like handling it with gloves. mother in law is much the same but does it anyway. However, she tries to avoid eating chicken, her phobia about handling it is so much an issue. With easy child 2/difficult child 2, she has to learn to do it, I told her. She just pointed to BF2 and said, "He will cut it up for me. I can cook it, as long as someone else cuts it up." I've even insisted on her cutting it up, and returned to the kitchen to find she'd done a chore swap with one of her brothers and got him to do it. I figure - negotiation is a useful skill also, and she did accept that the job had to be done, and arrange for it to happen. I think, Amy, that once difficult child realises that there are other options he might be more open to talking to you about it. However, Aspies don't always think laterally. If there is an obstacle, sometimes they can't get around it but need to wait for help. Marg [/QUOTE]
