One of my " little lady's " obsessions is to play in the water. She

could stand with her hands in water for hours. She is 5 1/2 and has

infantile autism. Washy washy was her first two word combo. Anyway, she

will stand pretty good this way to have her hair cut. Actually, that is the

only way it is possible to get it close to right.

Our problem is brushing her hair. The OT asked me if she screamed

when I put the brush to her head or when I got to the tangles. I said, " She

screams when she sees the brush. " That is true. This is our nightmare of

the day, brushing her hair.
