Brushing teeth

Yes.  Sometimes nothing seems it can be enough- ever.   The dissatisfaction seems so symptomatic of depression that I feel that I need to tell myself: ‘You, human, yes you, you are sick.  That is what is happening.  As you feel the struggle be as kind to yourself as if you were in the same room as a sick person.  What would I say to a sick person about this issue?   Do the tiniest amount.  I am here for you. I would encourage them because they are sick.  I would try to get as much help as possible for them.  I would lighten their load any way I could’

I must admit I don't like brushing mine and have an electric one but have the feeling it is not as good as manual brushing.  I also should floss everyday but hardly ever do.

Agreed. I also find a water flosser very satisfying.

Hi there, Thought this link on our website might be a good read for you and the brushing teeth resistance: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/physical-health/keeping-healthy 

There are a bunch of other articles in that part of the website that might be good too.

Hope that helps :)

My daughter always hated brushing her teeth.  However, I bought her an electric toothbrush and she really enjoys brushing her teeth now.  You don't need to buy an expensive one. Her was from Morrisons.
