[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 684310, member: 1550"] Drug abuse causes bad hygiene too. And I suspect pot use...makes one lazy as a rock if its a daily thing. in my opinion its more apt to be neurological such as on the spectrum if our kid NEVER bathed happily than if it suddenly developed as a teen or young adult. If it changes suddenly id most suspect alcohol/pot/other drug abuse. Most teens, even boys, try to look and smell great for the opposite sex. I dont think it normally takes until 25. If you are a typical kid, you know you will be ostracized if you look grimy snd have green teeth ;) Both Jumper and Princess brought a lot of teens home and most, even the young drug users, were clean and attractive. I do think autism and drugs (including pot) cause lots of these hygiene issues. By 25 most young adults sre becoming gainfully employed. Not all, but most. Or they are interviewing like crazy. To work at any sort of halfway decent job, or even go for an interview, you must be clean cut and dress nice. Typical adult kids, who want a job and independence, realize this and adapt to it. Princess even removed her face piercings to job hunt (and she had a ton...eek!) Well, ok if you work for fast food or as a tatoo artist ;) maybe not. But most jobs. And d cs are in the minority. Sad, yes. [/QUOTE]
