[QUOTE="jal, post: 475918, member: 3477"] How about replacing the toothpaste with the one he likes and a new toothbrush? My son is not on the spectrum, but brushing teeth was a battle when he was younger, now it gets done, but he rushes (and no cavities either). How about the battery operated toothbrushes or the ones that light up to show how long he should be brushing. Having a few different cool toothbrushes was fun for my son, now he tells me in the am, I'm going to brush my teeth! Actually, I am so used to telling him this am I called down the hall to remind him and he told me he already did. I almost didn't believe him, but husband vouched for him. [/QUOTE]
