My son will not wash/wear deodorant

Hello,

I have major issues with my 14 year old son. Biggest issue as well as others is his

Total lack of hygiene. He washes in water only, and refuses to wear deodorant of

Any form or kind. Which leads him to be very stinky. I fear school peers are going

To bully him, as well as its not healthy for him.

Have told the dr we are seeing,she hasn't really addressed the issue, she's more concerned about the other issues we are having.

Has anyone got any ideas please ??

He doesn't care less about his hygiene,yet it makes me physically sick the smells so bad.

We can't get though to him...I understand its a link to the autism he has.the touch the feel ect. But wot can u do ??? I'm on my knees !!! I give up...Have run out ideas or any hope.

Feeling dragged down, so many issues....you guys are my lifeline...

  • Does he have a sense of smell

    Cruel idea but do you know anyone older than he is who smells. Very cruel idea really. may be if he was in their proximity for a while. May be he recognise the need to find a way to wash for himself then.... I admit though it could be cruel for that other person he may just need a real life promt for himself why he ought to wash with soap often.
