hygiene

Ringo

Hello, this is my first time using the community discussion.  My 12 yr old daughter is now refusing to wash.  She will not have a bath, shower or wash her hair or brush her teeth.  Has anybody got any tips or advise.  I would be most grateful even for the smallest tip.

Many Thanks

Ringo

  • Hi.  My son is 12 and hasn't wanted to take care of his personal hygeine for almost 2 years now.  I've been told that with him having Aspergers his senses are heightened and he feels things 100 times more than anybody else without Aspergers/autism.  What I've done is buy him the really cheap toothpaste as it doesn't have the strong flavours as the major brands.  He HATES deoderant and I am constantly telling him to use it so now he has his own roll on.  I'm really struggling to get him to take care of himself and with him almost being a teenager he can have quite a strong smell of body odour.  He's still not willing to try the new things I've bought him but I really do hope he will in time.  He wouldn't sit in the dentist chair, instead he opted to scream to everyone in the waiting room that the dentist had a rusty meat cleaver waiting for them and that they were going to die from radiation poisoning from the x ray machine.  My long term partner left last week as he couldn't take my son with his problems anymore.  It's broken me, truly broken me as we were going to marry this year.  Yes my children do come first but it doesn't stop this terrible hurt.  xox
