This guide details 10 steps meant to help young adults who are smart but scattered use their executive skills to set goals, make a plan, and leave home. It helps those with executive skills problems who have stalled, and their parents, find independence by assessing their skills and whether there are skills challenges; building a foundation for moving forward; identifying their interests and aptitudes; identifying what a parent can do to help; setting a goal; breaking it into manageable objectives and evaluating progress; anticipating problems and doing advance work to overcome challenges; dealing with specific skill weaknesses; finding extra help; and learning from success. It includes the experiences of Richard and Colin Guare in helping Colin overcome challenges. Richard Guare works in learning and attention disorders, Colin Guare is a registered behavior technician and writer who works with children and adolescents on the autism spectrum, and Dawson is a psychologist.
