Problems with washing face, hair and brushing teeth

I don’t think it’s a sensory thing and I’m not depressed. I’m wondering if it’s the autism?

  • It's certainly an issue that keeps cropping up.  I don't understand why the NAS doesn't have a helpsheet on this subject.  www.youtube.com/watch

  • So today I’m having a gd day mentally and after some of your suggestions I’ve done some self assessing. After a little prompting and reminders from the wife I’ve showered and brushed teeth with no issues. 

    With me personally I think it’s any one of these causes or any combination of them. Depression, getting distracted, forgetting or not even thinking of it (least priority as I’m struggling with just living). Also I kind of like my own scent and during my whole life I’ve been this way, showering once a week or less and it’s done me no harm, my skin hasn’t fell off lol. But I am embarrassed if I tell people the extent of my lack of hygiene. 

    Theres is actually two area I do suffer from the lack of hygiene, I do get sore sometimes underneath foreskin(sorry if I shouldn’t be writing this) and my oral health ain’t great, horrible teeth shape and look, plaque and bad breath.  

  • Also think my brain is like “Don’t have time to do personal hygiene, eat, house work as I need to do this task(normally Xbox)
