| Hi. I think that you making your son clean up the mess that he made is a very good example of a “natural” consequence — something to be expected after a particular misbehavior. This is a very good way to manage the problem because it lets him know that you will not be picking up after him. Therefore... |

| Hi. I realize I am posting very late on this, but wanted to share my experience because I realize that others may benefit from reading this reply, even if perhaps your child is already potty-trained. My experience - both as a mom and in my professional interactions with children on the Spectrum - is... |

I am leaning towards just such an approach, especially as my son and I are very close and I do not feel that our relationship would be harmed. A... |

| Hi, I am new to the forum and also the mother of a son on the Spectrum. He’s younger than your son. So glad that your son is living independently. I am hoping for the same for mine. I live far from you, unfortunately (in Florida.). I would appreciate it if you could read my post and give some words ... |
