Trouble brushing teeth, taking shower and Bowel moments

Hi All,
I have a 7 year old son, who refuses to brush his teeth, or take a shower ( we do not have a bathtub). He is very comfortable with bath tubs, but we now moved and have only walk in shower. He has difficulty or I would rather say , that he is terrified sitting on the bathroom sink and do his #2. Please help.
Thanks
 
Those are not something we can effectively speak to as a text-based forum. Your best bet is to work on improving your communications with him. Seek out a therapist that is recommended by your local affiliate of the Autism Society.

For a short-term fix, my wife bathes our 31yo, ASD3 daughter in a Rubbermaid storage bin, filled with a shower hose. (My daughter does not object to showers, but it is easier on my wife to do so.)
