Comments on: The cost of autism http://whittereronautism.com/2008/05/the-cost-of-autism/ Coffee breaks in Cyberspace For when you want something short and sweet, but light on saccharin [translation = Aspartame] Sat, 19 May 2012 14:56:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Hilary http://whittereronautism.com/2008/05/the-cost-of-autism/comment-page-1/#comment-13366 Hilary Sat, 10 May 2008 04:51:07 +0000 http://whittereronautism.com/2008/05/the-cost-of-autism/#comment-13366 I'm happy to help you out with your mental health, Maddy. I have had periods of regularly washing clean clothing - at least, unworn clothing. My daughters' favourite bedroom furniture item being the walk-on-wardrobe, the easiest way to clean up their rooms was to throw everything in the wash. A temporary solution, yes, but it was good enough for them. I’m happy to help you out with your mental health, Maddy.

Instead Buddy Boy has several items of clothing that he insists not be washed, because "The washing machine will destroy them!". His suggested compromise is that we agree to hand wash these items. That is <i>not</i> going to happen. This results in a cat and mouse game of us finding where he has hidden the articles in question after he's worn them, and then surreptitiously being able to get them into the washer without his noticing. Great fun! Joe We have the opposite problem of cleaning already clean clothes.
