Set alerts every time he spends any amount have a text alert with the new balance so if he say has $400 and buys a $50 shirt his text alerts will say purchase of $50 new balance$350

I am planning on getting my 15 year old a debit account this year. Personal finance will be our math class for 2nd semester. Hopefully, I can teach him to keep track of his balance and make a budget. Since only his allowance will be in there, he can't screw it up too much. I have guardianship of my 31 year old. I have control of her rep payee account, but after her bills, I put the left over money into her debit account. I have tried to get her to take over responsibility for one bill, but so far that hasn't happened. She has little impulse control when it comes to shopping. I am hoping that by starting at 15 with my youngest, he will gain these skills. I think some are capable of figuring it out and others are not. If they can't do it, they need a guardian.

Autie4Lyfe83 is correct. Personal finance experts say that people who overspend should stick to cash because you see how much your spending. This is true for a lot people with or without ASD. I'd also recommend not walking around with a lot of cash either for their own safety.
