[quote=Anonymous]Well, I've lived in the Aspie world for 18 years and have never heard this one before. I suppose some Aspies are nerdish and don't brush their hair (think Einstein) because many are brilliant and focused on other issues than appearance. In my experience, they are living "lives of the mind" not of day-to-day mundane issues. If anything, my perfectly "normal" smart kid has far worse hygiene issues than my brilliant Aspie . . but we are hoping for a turn-around in that dept. It helps if both parents are monitoring the hygiene track. Mommy alone nagging may not make son turn-around. And sometimes you just have to spell it out (normal or Aspie): "This kind of behavior is unacceptable; you will have a roommate one day, etc."[/quote]
