Washing and bathing

IM
over 8 years ago

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 meant to say that I had this issue with my daughter who is now ten.

    So I got my swimsuit on and got in the bath with her and tonnes of toys.

    she especially liked one that was octopus based that stuck to the side of the bath. 

    after a while she was oh by herself. Before this it was like trying to get a cat to have a bath and she just squirmed and tried to escape.
