[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Okay, maybe my son is not ASD then as most of the psychiatrists have told us. But it bothers me to no end that I can not teach him good hygiene. Not sure how.[/quote] I'd go with the psychologists/psychiatrists' DX, not DCUM's DX. If you want to teach him some hygiene skills, you need to create a training program based on positive reinforcement. The tasks must be concrete and specific and you must reward compliance every time. http://www.mayinstitute.org/news/topic_center.html?id=394 http://autismpdc.fpg.unc.edu/content/reinforcement[/quote]
