[quote=Anonymous]OP, he will get better. I promise. In the meantime I highly recommend you look into a behavioral therapy approach. You can put together a plan with a professional for daily routines such as tooth brushing. It's hard to explain here, but basically you won't have your kid in extensive behavioral therapy or anything, just YOU adults will learn how to approach such issues in a more organized way and you will take many of these conflicts out of your life. My autistic son used to completely resist any kinds of grooming because he didn't like the way water felt on his skin, toothpaste is too strong, etc. ABA (applied behavioral analysis) really really helped! I'm not going to say we don't have discussions about the merits of deodorant on a regular basis still (at age 21), but he has gotten so much more automatic and it really works![/quote]
