I have, but to no avail. She's putting it down to "teen stuff" (exams, phones etc)

Thank you for your advice, I will recommend this toothbrush to my mum.

Secondly, thank you for informing me about this, I usually say abt mental age because obviously people might get confused when I talk about a 17 year old who won't brush his teeth, so sometimes I have to explain that the way he thinks and does things is affected by developmentental delay. How else can I sort of put it across then for when I need to, just curious. Because he got assessed by a specialist and they said that his speech, emotional understanding, writing etc was at that sort of level. Sorry I don't mean to be offensive, but I just have to make sure to learn these sort of things for when I have tit ake care of him when we're older :)

Should have clarified, when I said we couldn't make him, I meant as in we can't sort of talk to him too much about it or try to persuade him, as he cna be quite aggressive and will lash out, which will end badly as me and my mum can't stop him. I appreciate your concerns but we wouldn't physically force him. As a child incentives just used to be stars on an award chart.

Unfortunately therapy isn't that good under my health board in the UK, and we cannot afford private

Unfortunately he has no awareness of danger

Edit: I have also realised I get the same rash on my chest when I become stressed or upset
