[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It gets better with time and maturity. And medication. I will add that for my my college student we also use social stories and did some social skills classes.

I also think you need to alter your expectations somewhat. My child does everything that he needs to get done, but most of the time it’s on his own timeline that works for him and that’s OK. It took me a long time to be able to come to terms with that because when I want something done, I just want it done. However, he gets it done just on his own time and that is OK. I did body double him a lot when he was younger as we were going through the different techniques to try and see what would finally click.[/quote]

Same for us. My son is 18 and is so much better now. He can still procrastinate a ton but we make “deals” now - I remind him to do laundry, he’ll say in a bit and I respond with he needs to do it by X and to set a phone alarm. That’s our deal and he sticks to it. It took time for us to get there. It also gives him some flexibility and autonomy within bounds.[/quote]
