Sometimes visuals help with not listening TD. Explain it in pictures in sequential order what you mean or what is happening. Sometimes DS is great with that and not verbal instructions. Eg if I say you need to put away xyz then you can watch TV he jacks up but if I draw it in 2 boxes which he crosses off when done he is OK. (obviously your child is older and more advanced but you get the idea?)
Lots of university lecturers and IT people have aspergers, they are often very successful in their chosen field.
fanfairytastic idea Mrs Mac. He loves doing things like. Excellent routine setting for him too. oooo i am so excited about it!
A routine for each day, where he ticks things off, and he could even get a gold star and some rewards.
I love it!
