Putting the food in is super quick. Literally open a pack of chicken, open 1 jar dump it in, stir once. No measuring, unless you want to get fancy and add some extras like cumin or pepper.
Getting it out takes maybe two minutes. I shred the chicken with a fork. And then scoop out some rice and scoop out some chilli into a bowl.
Putting it into containers takes about the same amount of time as serving myself and I usually do it all at the same time. Maybe 5 minutes in total. I have some mugs with snap on lids that you can eat straight out of, which saves on dishes.
Then I can just whack those in the microwave for the rest of the week. 2-3 minutes.
I also hate washing up. You can get slow cooker liners which you just toss out, if you don’t want to wash up the pot. I don’t personally because I have a dishwasher, but it could work for you. Each mug only takes a quick rinse and wipe and they’re lighter than dishes, so less tiring to hold.

Can you clarify what you mean when you say he "can't" use a sharp knife or knife and fork? Is he actually physically incapable of even picking them up, or have you taken over because he seemed to be using them in a way that looked awkward or slow?
What I'm going to say here will sound somewhat blunt, and I'm making a few assumptions about your situation as your son isn't here to give his side of it. I can only speak from my experience of growing up with dyspraxia, but...
It sounds like you might be infantilising your son by assuming that he can't cope. Perhaps you've seen him struggling to do something and taken over because it was quicker and more convenient, but if you actually want him to become independent you must stop doing this. It doesn't matter if he has to take 5 minutes slicing a single carrot because he has to be careful and deliberate, nobody's timing him. It doesn't matter if he makes a mess, that can be cleaned up afterwards. Nor does it matter if he is always switching his cutlery between hands or sends a few bits of food flying off the plate. Dyspraxics are incredible problem solvers, and if you step back and let your son fail a few times (as long as he's not chopping off a finger) he will find his own way that works for him.
What does your son do in the home at the moment? Does he cook meals, do cleaning or anything like that? Step back and let him have a crack at these activities that he will have to do if he moves out, that way he will be prepared and can figure it out in a safe environment before he leaves.
As to opening tins, even I struggle with that. Your son might benefit from a tin opener like this one. I swear by my Kuhn-Rikon and always make sure it moves with me: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002T56RWY/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_2C7rDbEK6P04X
As to the roll-ups, if he wants to keep the habit he will figure it out even if he has to lay out a mat to catch all the falling tobacco from failed attempts. There is also the machine mentioned by someone else in the thread. On the bright side, he might get frustrated enough that he gives up smoking altogether (or at least makes the switch to vaping)!
