How do you teach a 2-step instruction to an autistic toddler?

Mine keeps getting stuck on the first step. I'm trying to work on simple 2-step directions with my almost 3-year-old, but we're not getting very far. If I say something like, "Pick up the toy and put it in the bin," he'll do the first part just fine... then completely forget about the second part.

I'm not sure if two-step directions are just too advanced for him right now or if there's a better way to teach it. We've had a lot more success with one-step directions, so maybe I'm moving too fast.

For anyone who's been through this, what helped your kid make that jump?
