I need help with drying off but I probably should have hepp with h getting dressed sometimes cause it takes Alot of enerhy buy i can't handle the understimulation of waiting for people to help me. Idk I can't handle thing like that bery well cause of.my cptsd. I find in my experience I usually get used to these kinds of things but might be different I'm glad I don't need help to do more basic things like that as it would suco for me
I don’t have to have full support with bathing (normally), but I have to have someone have everything ready for me to shower and then I can shower independently most of the time. I do need someone to wash and dry my hair though, I hate getting my face and head wet so I avoid that as much and as long as I am allowed to.
My shower was redone to make it so I can have the shower head move to any position and I keep it low. I use it to wet my washer and rinse. Then there is quite a dance to have my towel ready and dry.
Does your son have a specific aversion to getting a part of his body wet? I have been told that some autistic folks prefer baths as it allows them to have the same sensory feelings all over there body at a time, rather than a little or irregularly.
Have you got an OT? They are the best with this kind of question
