@askellieai: Hygiene struggles in SEND children aren’t about laziness or defiance. Sensory overload, demand avoidance, anxiety, and difficulties with body awareness can make everyday tasks like washing, brushing teeth, or toileting feel overwhelming. Understanding the why helps us support our children with less pressure and more compassion. #send #autismsupport #pda #askellie #autism

My daughter really struggles with this. Once she is in the bath she loves it and will stay in there watching Netflix. But just getting her IN the bath is HARD 😂

my son is 12 and has only just started to care for his own personal hygeine. I have found he now wants to keep up with his peers. When his freinds mention things like hair or body odour he will address them but when i remind him he will kick off so I had to stop badgering him about it really. I pick my battkes with him and as long as his face and clothes are clean somedays thats all we can achieve

my daughter is a real struggle with hair brushing and washing. brushing teeth isn't too bad, little harder than when she was little.

My son is 9 struggles with all of these but wiping is biggest struggle. We tried getting him to do self but then had issues with soiling. If we wipe, soiling decreases significantly. Any suggestions?
