[QUOTE="keista, post: 449756, member: 11965"] Gotcha. I think I managed to pre-emt a lot of this kind of stuff because the kids have dubbed me "the Lecture Lady" With any new endeavor, I go into an apparently too long lecture of any possible scenario that my crop up, and close by saying, "If you're still not sure, just ask" We do still have some hiccups, but I'm surprised to find that I'm having more such issues with DD1 as opposed to son. Son used to do that too. As long as it was a new experience, I'd take the blame for not teaching him, and assure him that as long as he learns and doesn't repeat whatever it was, that it was all a part of normal learning and growing up. At the moment, he's refusing to get his learner's permit due to the same principle - he doesn't want to mess things up. in my opinion this is the 'perfectionist' that is present in so many Aspies. They are so good at so many things that when they are faced with a challenge and 'screw up' they are doubly hard on themselves because they 'should have known' how to do something so seemingly simple.
