[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 700148, member: 1233"] Sometimes you must be direct with this issue. My brother spent years choosing his friends based on how bad they smelled. The more they smelled, the more he liked them. It was truly awful when both my father and I get severe migraines from odors and unwashed people, esp with artificial scents over that, are a big problem for us. Bro KNEW this and still brought people home when he knew it would make one or both of us sick. We even had to get all new bedding after one guy that bro let spend the night with-o my folks knowing. The odor was so bad that it couldn't be washed out. Just tell you son that staying with you comes with the requirement of bathing and putting on clean clothing, that you will happily put his clothes in the washer and when they are done, he will have to bathe with soap. Thank him for complying and leave it alone unless he flat out refuses. Often a person doesn't realize how their smell is impacting others. As this is a problem for you, speak up and let him know and tell him what you expect him to do about it. In our society, regular bathing is important, but someone with NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD) likely needs to be told about this. Even if you have said so before, it is enough of an issue that you need to say something again. [/QUOTE]
