He can do most things on his own such as brushing his own teeth wash his own hair picks up his mess's dress' himself etc... Gives him purpose and makes him feel like he has accomplished something which is great!!

we need more help with learning every day skills dressing teeth brushing

THey do this at his school, and he seems to enjoy it on the whole. Too bad neither of my parents really make him do anything at home. Dad doesnt believe hes capable, and mom just doesnt want to push his limits. (So then whenever I try to do something, he gets mad because of the inconsistency and his own spoiled-laziness. FRUSTRATING!!!)

I guess we didn't treat him any differently to anyone else, just gave him more time and patience.

He's dresses independently, etc., but continue to work on things like what to do if you get lost.
