This video helped us teach Evy to dress himself. He has memory problems because of the autism. He had a hard time remembering what is in which drawer and it was very frustrating until he had a mental frame of reference (via the video). Also helpful was putting the experience to song. His memory for songs is phenomenal and helps compensate for his difficultly learning words.

  • I am with pentaburks on this! and not to mention in their own world its a game of confusion and not being able to focus and stay focused on 1 thing and end up doing something totally different Distraction is the term i believe. I taught a autstic child in singing it was a challenge! but now his singing is incredible 2 years later he still sings

  • If you have any advice on training him, I'm all ears. He gets frustrated right now with criticism.

  • Actually, I think a person with Down's Syndrome would likely have an easier time getting dressed than a person with autism. Autism features difficulty problem solving, planning, sequencing activities in proper order to accomplish them, and remembering where things are that aren't in plain sight. Disability is so much easier to forgive than ignorance. Though both require acquisition of knowledge. Good luck on your journey.
