Hi, just to let you know DS is allowing me to touch his hair with my fingers(no brush). Daughter has also been able to get the bristle end of the toothbrush in his mouth for a second. Hopefully we are starting to get somewhere. Hope your'e ok.

Thats excellent! My ds2 hates having his head touched and know how hard it is even getting their hair washed. Well done all of you!

Hi Devie, That's brilliant progress, you must be so pleased!! Well done DD too. How did you do it??

Yes we're doing well at the moment. The gentle vibrating toothbrush is still a no no, but we are now in for a thorough brush with the silicone finger brush. Still hates an actual toothbrush though. She is also now feeding herself (months of therapy to get her doing this) and is now very happy to have cream on her face and arms. I don't know if it was the facial massage and tapping or whether she would have done it anyway. Either way something has worked so I'm pretty chuffed.
