Dear Dr Tony,
I have a question regarding my two aspie boys aged 12 & 16. They attend mainstream school but struggle with organizational skills. They forget to do their homework and they leave notes in their bags that I'm was supposed to sign weeks ago. They also don't tell me stuff until the last minute. I have tried lots of different sorts of organizations systems (that I've worked on with their teachers) but the wheels fall off if something new is introduced, and we are back to square one. I was interested to know if there are any therapists that specialise in this type of thing.
I was also wondering if you could recommend some good DVD's on 'organization for aspies' that I could watch with them. Or perhaps some workshops to help me to get them thinking right about daily tasks. I'm concerned that as they get older things are only going to get worse with more subjects, more teachers and less hand holding. They aren't getting the grades that match their prized intelligence and I worry that this will affect their confidence and career aspirations.
thanks
from Ferretbox
