Help with time concept

Yeshuabepraised

Hi please can anyone give me some advice on how I can help my 14 year old son to manage time better , he can use a digital clock OK but not an analogue but the problem I am having is if his older brother says I will be with you in half hour then he just doesn't grasp half hour or and hour , to him he cannot grasp this concept all day would go by and he would still think has half hour gone yet mum or if an hour has gone by he will say nooooooooo it can't be it's too soon ect . How can I help him with this 

  • Hi there,

    I'm new to this. I have 16 yr old twin sons who we think are on the spectrum. No diagnosis as yet as this takes forever. Unfortunately I can't stand being late for appointments and find it very stressful - the boys however have no concept of the need to be on time (for anything!). Even their friends who call for them, can be left waiting for them to get ready for ever.

    I have come across (though I haven't bought one as yet), a TimeTimer. If you look this up on Amazon you should find it. It looks like a clock but counts time down. They are recommended for use for people with Autism.

    Hope this is useful.
