Would your (NT) 11 year old be able to cope with this?

“Take your clean clothes up and put them away, then tidy your room, hoover, and bring your bin down.”

And are they able to prioritise (eg getting dressed, eating breakfast, getting bag ready etc) over non essential/less urgent tasks?

My son at 11 would have, no question about it. He would also have easily prioritised tasked.
My Daughter? Different story altogether, she's only just started to get her head out of the clouds over the last 18 months (she's 13 now) but is still better with a written to do list.

Thanks for your reply. My 11 year old can’t cope with a verbal list of tasks at all and then does absolutely none of them which drives me mad! Even getting ready for school in the morning (same routine every day) he needs constant reminders of what to do next and will do non essential stuff leaving himself no time.

I used a visual order of tasks with my DD for years, amending the sheet as necessary. I love her dearly, but her ability to glide off into her own world between one sentence and the next drove me nuts - especially as she wanted to be as independent as her big brother (bad combination!). Visual worked for us, written lists now get the jobs done.

Some people struggle to process and retain verbal instructions, so it might be worth trying a different methods of communication (and reinforcing it often at first). It may also be worth limiting the number of items on the list for a while and then trying to build up from there.
