Used Book in Good Condition
Not a guy, so no firsthand experience here, but I wanted to offer a possible resource. This book and this other one are basically a curriculum on self-care before and during puberty - some of it written to the child and some to parents/teachers. It won't all apply to him (some of it is specific to girls or younger kids), so you'd need to read through it first and pick out the parts he needs to see.
Good personal hygiene book I've used with autistic kids before: https://smile.amazon.com/Taking-Care-Myself-Personal-Curriculum/dp/1885477945/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502588621&sr=8-1&keywords=taking+care+of+myself
If this is still going on, I would like to enter my 12 year old son, Jamie.
Being on the spectrum, social and communication skills are not his forte, so this book on hygiene, etc would come in handy for him.
Also, he just REALLY got into Albert Einstein being that Einstein portrayed many Asperger traits. TIL that he had a very huge, misshapen head. Lol.
I have not had a chance to post a request for Jamie and his younger brother as of yet, but I am registered. Thanks!
Congrats on your 39 days!
What kind of resources and support system do you have available right now? Other family members? Regular therapist? Insurance? Inheritance?
Just the cleanup must be a huge process and I bet it would help if you could get some professionals in to help.
I’ll link you to appropriate resources...
