[quote=Anonymous]Two kids 6 and about to be 4. 6 year old has ASD. I run A tight ship, we trained with ABA and follow up reinforcement to help with dishes, pick up his plate and dress himself for bed. Win. BUT during this pandemic he’s regressed in the bathroom. My soon to be 4 year old has too. So here I am trying to homeschool while cleaning pee and poop. It’s quite miserable. The 6 year old is actually slightly better than the 4 year old despite his autism and occasional meltdowns/ridgidness. They are way past the age to slap some diapers on them again. I know all about consequences and making them clean up after themselves. But this is different. They aren’t sleeping well and have anxiety. I’m just really wanting to know when kids truly become independent. When can I expect to say we’ll get dressed it’s time for bed? 8 or 10? Please tell me it gets better. [/quote]
