I shave my son's armpits and use Mitchum deodorant. He is fourteen. The solid unscented is great.

My son was and medication and I took him out of the ABA program and started Son-Rise along with the GAPS diet. www.gapsdiet.com. These two treatments have healed the water behind his ears, made potty training possible and decreased hyper activity and improved focus all without medication.I noticed his treatment at school exacerbated the symptoms and he was becoming aggressive. I decided my child's behavior was not the issue but the training methods being used produced anxiety and stress for him. The GAPS diet does amazing things for a child's system, it is a gut healing diet that aims to improve the absorption of nutrients. In the last 6 months my son went from size 6 clothes to size 8 or 9. He is not fat, just taller! His growth was sort of slow before. These are things to research even though they are not mainstream at the current time. If I didn't use these two programs my son would be institutionalized and unable to function in our home environment. He would be medicated to tolerate a strict ABA program. He has made tremendous progress in the past year and I am so glad I didn't have to continue to puruse the meds because I was able to drop them entirely.

try shaving cream, it requires more washing and rinsing off and generally has a scent that will help with the odors.

oh sorry- try shaving cream in leiu of soap...

My son sounds a lot like yours....while he was on Abilify he used to sweat profusely, nothing would help. He would break out in a sweat while watching TV sometimes! After determining he had high blood pressure and a rapid heart rate, he was switched from the Abilify to Prozac....just something to keep an eye on Abilify helped his anxiety, but can cause rapid HR. Sweating no longer a problem.
