[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 33051, member: 1991"] DDD, that sounds like a multitasking problem. We get that from difficult child 1 if he's hit with too many instructions or a verbal list of things to do. He doesn't say, "I hate you" or anything like that, but he begins to go into classic autism withdrawal, hands over ears, crouching over, trying to shut it all out. We write it down for him, if there are more than two steps or two jobs. If necessary, we also prioritise the list for him ("feed the birds first, then peel potatoes and get the clothes off the line BEFORE you light the barbecue.") It's a sort of memory thing - he can't hold too many separate steps in his head because he can't remember them if it's not slotted into his long-term memory. And that takes time and patience.
