[QUOTE="PiscesMom, post: 706785, member: 19889"] My daughter resists taking showers. Her teacher even mentioned to me that she needs to shower more regularly. I front load first (you have to w autism it seems), then shut off internet if she doesn't. I regularly fall for "I will shower in the morning" promise but usually she is too anxious the next day for school to follow thru. Does he respond to checklists? Wash hair, then ears...After shower, dry off. Hang up towel, put on pajamas, etc. Yes, he has to shower. What possible benefit is it to let him behave in a way that repels others? If it feels too much like a battle, change tactics maybe, but persist. Oh, that reminds me. Once we were arguing about her shower, and I said But we agreed every other day. Suddenly she stopped fighting and looked at me, amazed. Mom, you're right! She immediately showered, and laughingly apologized later. In my experience, autistic people need structure and concrete logic. Not that I'm good at it or anything... :/ [/QUOTE]
