The Kids Who Beat Autism

By RUTH PADAWERJULY 31, 2014

He no longer made eye contact, no longer seemed to hear, no longer seemed to understand the random words he sometimes… read more

Do Others Have Issues With Teaching Hygiene And What Do You Do That Helps?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been having many issues teaching my children good hygiene skills and have trouble with regular visits to dentists and doctors when it's about the general health. Does anyone else have a hard time with bathing regularly, using the restroom more often (especially girls during that time), public restroom use, brushing hair etc?

A MyAutismTeam Member

I'll be trying that, days of the week that are a must and an actual check list. I really hope it works well.
