As far as #3, if D was being clingy, what would have probably worked really well is "Mom needs to work for an hour. If you can sit and play quietly for an hour, then you and I can do something fun before you go to grandmas house."
It's all about tangible rewards with ASD.

Hm, that's a good idea to try some rewards like that. Worked for potty training a couple years ago (lots and lots of Oreos...). They have some sort of sticker card for good behavior at school, too. So maybe we need to work more on positive discipline.... Even if I had just said "We can go out back and play after you play by yourself for an hour," that likely would have been a good incentive for her.
I'll try that next time, thanks!
