[quote=Anonymous]Do not force him to do all of these things at once. It takes longer to reach independence with kids with AS. Some of these things are diffiuclt because the coordination and fine motor sklils aren't there yet. Have him start with one step in a chain of steps (or the last step is even better), then the last 2 steps, etc. (e.g. he can put the toothbrush in the toothbrush holder at the end, next he can rinse the toothbrush after brushing then put the brush in the holder; or have him do one or two strokes of brushing after you do most of the brushing, or first). My son is 10 and still far less independent than his peers. He'll get there. [/quote]
