I Can Wear Deodorant 26 Page Resource is a carefully designed social visual guide and step-by-step visual schedule created to support Autistic and neurodivergent teen boys in understanding body changes, sweat, and deodorant use in a clear, respectful, and reassuring way.
Developed by Flourish Autism Consultancy & Training, this resource takes a trauma-informed, neuroaffirmative approach to personal hygiene education during puberty. It uses simple language, consistent visuals, and predictable structure to reduce anxiety and sensory overwhelm while supporting autonomy, choice, and self-understanding.
The guide explains why bodies sweat, how smells can happen, and how deodorant can support comfort and freshness, without shame, judgement, or social pressure. It is particularly well suited to teens who benefit from explicit explanations, visual sequencing, and reduced verbal demands.
