My little girl is 3 and has been diagnosed with autism a few months ago. Recently we have been having major problems getting her washed and bathing her. When she was younger we couldnt keep her out of the bath! she sometimes had 3 a day if she wanted. But now it turns into a nightmare. She gets anxious upset screams and hits out. She needs washed. She's a active girl! Does anyone have any experience of this and any tips or techniques to overcome this?
I have a,13yr old son, not yet diagnosed and now he's hit puberty, bathing and keeping clean is a real issue! It never used to be a problem but as he's gotten older he isn't recognising when he smells and needs to wash. Sometimes I am on at him for hours and I have resorted to bribery to get him into the shower.I've bought him nice deo/shower gel sets to encourage him but it has little effect. Camhs suggested the school nurse talks to him as Camhs don't have enough "evidence" to diagnose him, so to them he's just a lazy teen!
Hi . I recently had Camhs round and where l am in DerbysgDer they don't diognose. So in different parts of the country are they responsible? Thanks
