[QUOTE="DDD, post: 35338, member: 35"] I don't have a suggestion but I do have a couple of questions. Primarily...what do you want to happen? Is there a reasonable expectation that your action will lead to that result? I am one of the ones who stay out of the PO business but that does mean that you should feel the same way. I don't know if you have any financial flexiblity to make it possible (I have lived years with none as well as many with some choices!) but cluttered living is extremely stressful for difficult child's. ADHD and AS kids in particular have so much difficulty with impulse control and focusing that the starkest of environments is best for their development. If you have the option, I would suggest that you remove everything from your home that is not needed on a regular basis and get a storage unit. Then, make simple rules for all three of you about picking up and putting away things where they belong. I am not Heloise, although I think my Mother was in disguise LOL, but this change in your home will greatly reduce the stress of wondering what he may or may not have taken. It also will make life easier and simpler for you and your husband. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
