As far as autistic people go, from my experience, social norms are bizarre and make little sense. It is not uncommon for Ethan to play outside, get dirty, sweaty , as well as be covered in whatever he spilled that day to want to go out in public. He also tends to get frustrated when I send him to get changed and cleaned up.I guess he feels as tho if he feels good about his hygiene so should I. Unfortunately for him. I do not, so I came up with a non verbal way to remind him to be clean. If he checks this list out he will be reminded of what to do on a daily basis to keep mom of his back.
This also comes in handy for older son who sometimes gets a little lax on his daily hygiene. Please feel free to print out and use.
