[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Specialists will tell you to drop demands at home. As another pp said, school is maxing him out. I hope a specialist, or a friend, would also tell you to count your lucky stars that you’re dealing with relatively normal teenage behavior. [/quote]

No competent specialist will say to allow a teen to get out of chores or basic politeness. [/quote]

This is true of neurotypical people.  Not true of autism.

I cut demands early on. This allowed a rebalancing.

My oldest is an accomplished college athlete. My middle is pursuing an advanced degree and the youngest is a bit of both.

None of them would have had the spoons to make it through high performance tasks if they also had to do non preferred tasks or were expected to socialize like a neurotypical.

I value being a kind considerate human over being an athlete or being a super student. I wouldn’t let my kids get away with terrible behavior so they can be on a sports team. Good luck to their future spouses….

NP. There is a huge difference between not being social and terrible behavior. OP might have to accept her kid needs more space than she expects and teach him how to do for space politely. Teaching my AuDHD teen to say no politely to requests hasn’t been easy but is paying off. [/quote]
