It is okay, for the most part. I tell him verbally what he is expected to do, and if it is a task he has done multiple times before, he does it. However, if it is a brand-new task, he has to be walked through all the steps, for a fair bit of time, till it becomes "almost routine".

Other than task-avoidant perfectionism, I can't think of a psychological explanation for this one. I'd say it's worth exploring for a neurological explanation. It does not sound like typical 7yo behavior.
