hygiene issues and hyposensitivity?

one of the biggest (group of) things i struggle with bc of my pda is hygiene—whether it's brushing my teeth, showering, or even washing my hands (ik, gross) and it feels embarrassing to admit it and that i just... don't usually really feel gross? I've rarely gotten that want or need to take a shower or wtvr from "feeling gross" that i hear other people talk about, and usually the only times that i feel "gross" is when other people point out how gross it is or i think of how other people would think of it, but it's still not much of a motivator for me...

just wondering if anyone else gets this ? i would assume it's a mix of hyposensitivity or something like that from autism and the demand avoidance

(mainly for showering; I haven't showered in a little over 3 weeks and i feel bad sometimes because i know its gross even though I don't particularly feel gross...)

i hope tthis makes sense ? ^^;;

anyone know what's been eating my sedum?

im not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask in (please direct me to the right one if this isn't it), but me and my stepmom have been trying to figure out what's going on with our sedum, and we're hoping someone might be able to help

we havent found anything actively eating it, even checking it at night; no slug trails/evidence; stepmom has put pinwheels in it to try to deter animals; haven't seen any droppings in the area; we've seen rabbits and deer in the area

for reference, we're in central NC and right next to a large pond

outdoors plant in a pot next to a building; we don't very actively water it; it's outside, so not quite sure how much light it gets
