Found my son scratching butternut seeds out with fingers, so it was like let's fetch spoon and calve these seeds out. Let's look at different uses for kitchen utensils.

I think a while back had discussion on spray bottle fun, and how to wipe the counter. Having duties assists independence and involves many moto-co-ord movement (very good)

Another idea is skipping school athletics race altogether and having future acknowledgement of our weakness in asd without having to loose the race. I know it sounds avoidant but sometimes that's good, right? Let's focus on our strengths and chin up, keep confidence.

Grooming routine, mornings is check mirror, brush hair, don't forget to wash hands (fun with liquid dispensary soap) and always kiddies blow nose before going out. Have an Awesome day!

Do you have any ideas to share.....
 
It is awesome you are teaching your son so many life skills. You seem like a good mom!

My son is still a work in progress. We have found that, oddly, he seems to really enjoy being given repetitive chores. Can't hold his attention 5 minutes to watch TV, but will vacuum the house for an hour if he's in the mood.

Ye, mine was late talker so after many years it was revealed how deep this thoughts really were. He's a teen now, so I don't blow his nose but it's habit I did for years. Lately we have much more in common as I find he's more responsive to my wavelength but his brother alienates me in being hard wired differently. He's also really philosophical and has lengthy explanations for things. It's great after all these years to have willing companion. Some days as girl I slouch around in slippers and better days i dress up, I think we just tend to mask more, from younger. I had similar issue of wiping counter with hand,
