I didn't say a word.

Sent my very mucky son up for a bath when he was about 6 or 7. He came down later telling me he had had it. When I pointed out that he still had dirty hands he explained that he hadn’t washed them. He tells me now that it was many years before he realised how I knew he hadn’t gotten in the bath.

oh gosh I remember , before showers and daily or even twice daily baths

washing at the sink

I hated washing my neck,, don`t know why, but after a few days, my mom could see!!

It is often said that people with ASD have a dislike for showering.
Sensory perception and all that.
However my son who has ASD is the opposite he can easily spend 30 mins in the shower and the foam coming out the pipe to the drain sometimes blows across the garden, as he's used so much product.
My oldest GS used to fake having a shower but now at nearly 11 he likes to smell nice.

My brother at 18 years old spent so long in the shower on my wedding day that I was pushed for time and the water was cold.
When I complained, he said he wanted to look nice for my wedding.
Err, yes... so did I!!!

My son, when he was about 5) used to go into my large shower and then just plaster himself against the wall so that none of the water hit him at all. Took a few times of doing this before he was busted!

My grandson used to run the shower and read his comic. We knew he hadn't been in there as towel dry and and so was his very thick hair. 5 years later aged 16 he now spends ages in the bathroom using manly shower gels and shampoos.

And we know it won't be long before he'll be spending hours in there!
