DS2 is 2.8 and has ASD. He seems to be making massive improvements in his vocabulary and his use of it withing the last couple of months, and the More than Words programme has helped, but his self-care is just stuck.
He makes no attempt to dress himself, brush his hair or teeth or do anything like that. He has lots of motor planning problems and is extremely clumsy, but I just dont know what to do.
His understanding isnt great, and he only understands about 30 words, and none that are very helpful when trying to get him to start to try these tasks.
Im so stressed about it that my post has come out all garbled. Im sorry it doesnt make much sense.
Does anyone have any ideas? His portage worker suggested starting with his socks but this isnt working and she seems to have disappeared - we havent seen her for three weeks and I dont know where else to turn.
