My oldest son has Asperger & it was never a matter of telling him to do homework. He's far more organised & ahead of the game than I ever was. My next two, I often helped with homework. Not because they weren't capable of doing it but to sort of inspire them or stimulate them.
Those two are very much like me - they need fresh ideas & stimulation. They rarely used my ideas which was perfectly fine, theirs often was better, but it gave them the boost they needed to do it. (not to say that it wasn't ususally done at the last minute either.)
My baby's almost 20 now so school's far behind. We all loved learning with a *passion* - but had trouble with accepting the way school tries to teach people - all in the same way.
