Please Help Me Understand Why My Son Always Stinks!
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

My son is now 21 and still at home. He bathes regularly, but man oh man does he smell bad! He swears he is using soap and shampoo and deoderant but it just seems really unlikely given the odor. At this age, how can I help? I thought about having him bathe in underwear and doing a re-training on how to best get clean. Why doesn't it bother him at all? Anyone else?

He probably can’t smell himself. Easier to notice when other people stink but hard to smell on yourself.
