Everyday, anything left on the floor or purposely not put in the right plave goes in a basket. He needs to do a chore to get each item back (wi flex mirrors, empty dishwasher, vacuum one room.) If something is not claimed in 1 week, it goes to Good Will.  No arguing, no negotiations.

No food in the bedroom. Only bottled water.

If he doesn't put clean clothes away in drawers or closets, he does the laundry for a week.

When teens act like toddlers, they get treated like toddlers. And this is not an ADD disorder. This is a TEEN disorder. Don't let his diagnosis be a crutch. [/quote]

I used a similar approach to this.  I went into my daughter's room weekly (gave her notice) and collected anything that was not where it should be.  Clothes on the floor, etc.  She had to earn these things back and then needed to launder them herself.  She got to the point where she had no underwear left before relenting!  Since then she is doing a pretty good job![/quote]
