[QUOTE="pasajes4, post: 617293, member: 12856"] It is interesting about the refusal to brush teeth. My son refuses to brush his teeth. I recall one of the many checklists I have had to fill out over the years, asked about his willingness to brush. I have since found out that the refusal, going ballistic, when asked to brush is a very common thing among people who are mentally ill. It is like asking them to slit their own throats. What has never been explained is what is behind the refusal. I know that for some it is a sensory issue, but for those who don't have sensory issues, I can't fathom why they would want to walk around with rotten teeth and stinky breath. Anyone have any thoughts on this? [/QUOTE]
