11 Year Old Allowance and Chores

I will have an 11 year old daughter in a few days and was wondering what are appropriate chores? She's an only child and a very helpful one at that. She currently helps by folding clothes, sweeping the kitchen/bathroom, feeding the cat/changing litter, cleaning her room and washing dishes (I'm considering taking this back).

He's ADHD and is on growth hormone injections (pituitary gland stopped functioning in this capacity when he was 3.) When he was about 10 months old, he had a pretty bad cold.
