Hi I’ve only just joined. We don’t have a diagnosis yet for our 11 year old daughter (assessment due to take place on 2 February) but it is suspected that she will be diagnosed with Aspergers and possible ADHD.
A current issue we are struggling to manage is the fact that she doesn’t want to wash. When we tell her she needs to shower there’s always a reason why she can’t or won’t. She really smells. She knows she smells but still won’t get in the shower. She says if we keep telling her to do it she won’t.
Had anyone else experienced this behaviour?
Baths and showers have to be at a time I prefer otherwise I don’t feel like having one. Ask what time she prefers. Try bath bombs or bubble bath. I don’t like having a hair wash so can take some time for me to agree to one
