Autism & ADHD: Effective Ways to Teach Chores

ADHD & Autism: Why Chores Are So Hard and How To Teach Chores in a Way That Actually Works:) 

Why do chores turn into power struggles in so many ADHD and autistic families?

It's not laziness. It's not defiance. And it's definitely not a character flaw.

In this episode of The Autism ADHD Podcast, Holly Blanc Moses sits down with adolescent psychologist Dr. Cam Caswell to unpack why chores feel like a nightmare for neurodivergent kids and teens.

If you're parenting a child with ADHD or autism and struggling with:

• Executive functioning challenges
• Chore refusal
• Emotional meltdowns over "simple" tasks
• Fear about your child's future
• Power struggles at home

This conversation will change how you see chores forever.

You'll learn:

✔ Why chasing compliance actually builds resentment ✔ The difference between responsibility and obedience ✔ How executive functioning impacts task initiation ✔ Why chores are an adult priority (not a teen priority) ✔ How to teach life skills without shame ✔ A neurodiversity-affirming approach to building ownership ✔ How to reduce conflict while increasing competence

This episode is essential listening for:

• Parents of ADHD and/or autistic children and teens
• Therapists and psychologists working with neurodivergent families
• Educators
• Parenting coaches

If you want to raise responsible, confident kids without damaging connection — this episode is for you!
