I have found if I am very clear and specific on the reason why something has to be done.....if I convince Edward it is a must he will comply.....just because mummy says so is never good enough. Yes this info is the complete opposite of what the experts tell you to speak to your ASD toddlers.....but it works for us as long as I explain clearly enough and that Edward understands the why.
Another trick that works and also helps with interaction with others later is teaching the 'this now then that'
Mummy needs to finish washing the bottles then we can go out the back and play....just the way Edward loves numbers saying "one mummy washes bottles and two downstairs and play on the trampoline" that way he knows that I am not saying no forever, it will be the next thing we do and it help with teaching taking turns.
