I'm starting a new video series targeted to families (particularly Dads) with Autistic kids. Each video is about one minute long and gives you some practical takeaways to help you cope and give you hope with Autism. This is the first in the series and is entitled They May Have Very Obsessive Interests.

Having the ability to keep to a schedule is important to someone with ASD. You could set your watch to some things Trevor did during the day, like setting the dinner table (5:50 pm), walking on the treadmill (6:30 pm), or having an evening snack (8:00 pm). We consequently kept a very orderly and predictable house and all four of us grew very comfortable with schedules.

A task assigned to "the team" or with a duration of more than one week has a greater likelihood of not finishing on time.
Define tasks with a singular owner accountable for delivery and with a schedule duration of one week or less. See all 100 lessons at 6WordLessons.com. I started a new video series on growingupautistic.com specifically focused on helping dads with raising an autistic child. This is deeply personal to me in raising our son Trevor and helping him through primary and secondary schooling, completing his degree in Film & Media Studies at Arizona State University, and onboarding into the workforce. I will be adding videos on a regular basis. I'd love for you to give them a look and let me know what you think.

So what kid doesn't like hearing, "Hey, let's go out for ice cream!" While many kids would gleefully run for the car, those with ASD could find it difficult because it is an unplanned activity that wasn't expected. We learned to not spring unplanned activities of any kind on Trevor; we would give him advance notice so he could incorporate the activity into his schedule.
