[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 630849, member: 1550"] My kids, including autistic Sonic, did their own laundry at age twelve with no difficulty. I really like my kids to be independent and with Sonic I needed to let him know I felt he was capable (it is so easy to baby a truly disabled child). He did fine and can now take care of his own apartment. It is not a mess. He cleans it and drags out garbage bags each night. All my kids had to learn to cook, at least in a passable way, in high school. I wasn't always home and that is another skill even Sonic actually is very good at. The allownace quit at age sixteen. Part-time work kicked in and all of my grown kids have good work ethics. An adult child most certainly should mow the lawn, take out trash, pick up after himself and do the dishes from time to time. I'm with you about the room, Echo. It's your mess. I won't clean it. Don't expect me to. If you can live in slobbery, then do it, but keep the door shut. [/QUOTE]
