It seemed to work better when we had structure.
Small amounts help. I sent him to bed the same time each night, we read first and then to bed. He knew he was getting a book and then no questions asked. I also tried to put all of his supplies in his room in separate compartments, this meant I was always resorting them, but when things were thrown all over he would lose focus. I have found in our life, that it was almost impossible to be massively structured, but the things I could control, I did. It is a constant battle for sure. School is another deal, I can not guarantee structure there at all.
And what do you do if you cant provide large amounts of structure?
Re: And what do you do if you cant provide large amounts of structure? ...Suffer the consequences - and I ain't being funny! Small amounts will count too (and are better than nothing), but will not be as effective as moderate to high amounts of structure. When it comes to Aspergers children, "more is better" in the "structure" department.

Agree completely that children with Aspergers need structure at home and school.
