I haven’t worked with autistic students before. My HS student has issues with carrying through on whatever he’s working on. He will get started but unless told each time to go on to the next part (a task, a part of a lab, a question in a practice paper, etc), he will just stop. I walk myself to death going back to him over and over as he’s working. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Is self contained class better than integrated setting if only minor delay in social and cognitive? School placing into self contained class in prek and i dont know if thats right if other kids would be all over the spectrum there? First timer to public school system

Lawyer Couples:
I’m currently an associate (no kids) in a very busy corp group (think 50-60 billable weekly). My wife works significantly less (currently part time, 10-15, but hopefully will be full time soon). I find myself getting upset when asked to help with basic household things (trash, cooking etc.) when she’s been lounging around watching Netflix all day. Am I being reasonable or am I a misogynist? How do you deal with one person having significantly more free time than the other?
