A common behavior characteristic in Aspergers kids is the dislike of grooming and personal hygiene habits. Aspies of all ages seem to have difficulty establishing sound hygiene routines in the areas of bathing/showering, brushing hair, changing clothes, haircuts, cleaning teeth and washing hair. You are probably wondering "Where do I begin to get this all under control?". Honestly it is a step by step process and you will not accomplish it all within a week or a few months. I will not explain why the aspie child has problems in this area as that can be found anywhere you look on the web. I want to keep each post short and sweet and how we as a TEAM worked together to overcome each obstacle.
This series of blogs will attempt to gear you in the right direction. It is what I have done and although we are far from being there we are slowly getting to that point. I will list each one below and as I have a post written I will enter the link so you can follow up on it. Please add your suggestions cause what works for one might not work for another and who knows, I might find the missing link that will help my son overcome his difficulties with you sharing how you got your child to improve on his personal hygiene.
My darling son is going to be 15 and I think our biggest obstacle right now is still with brushing teeth. So that will be probably the last post I write about in this series as we are still working on it. I want to start with showering as this has been a battle in itself since he was 2 years old. I like to say I no longer need to remind him it's time for a shower and I will share in my post - Personal Hygiene (Bathing/Showering) on how we accomplished this. Sit back and enjoy and visit often as I work on this series.
