Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi, well I never had a problem with my son not finishing homework just because he wants to, or similar. But he has/can have what I think of as Aspie stubborness, meaning if he did decide that then there'd be no persuading, etc. My son (now almost 20) was also the gifted/LD label for school. Does she say why she won't finish it? single mom, 3 sons , soon to be 20!, with OCD, dysgraphia, Aspergers > > Hi there! > > We heard just last Wednesday that our daughter (just 6 and a half) is > on the Asperger's spectrum. > > I am reading up like mad about it, and of course want quick answers > (who doesn't!?!)Have noticed that when she decides she is not going to > do something (like finish some school work) there is no persuading her. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi There, Two things that help us is to have an accommodation in place in his plan to have extra time on our son's homework, and a behavior incentive plan at home for homework and other non-preferred chores. He has to turn his homework on Friday when the rest of the class turns it in on Thurs. The reward system: we dole out poker chips instead of stickers or allowance, then they have to buy their goodies with their chips. Candy, video game time, movie time, playdates (if we ever had any) would be earned with chips. Right now my son doesn't want to spend them because he's so proud that he has earned 563 chip and sister has less. He is more compliant and she spends more of them than he does. Toys can be bought at 10 chips per dollar, so he has to work pretty hard to get that new $20 toy that he wants. It can get expensive though! > > Hi there! > > We heard just last Wednesday that our daughter (just 6 and a half) is > on the Asperger's spectrum. > > I am reading up like mad about it, and of course want quick answers > (who doesn't!?!)Have noticed that when she decides she is not going to > do something (like finish some school work) there is no persuading her. > Is this normal for an Aspie?
