A possible explanation for Daniel’s hatred of showers is because of how they feel. The most common symptom of autism is sensory issues, which makes certain textures or sensations feel uncomfortable or sometimes painful for autistic individuals, but most make an effort to clean themselves.

However, he will tolerate his skin feeling sticky as a result of the dirt, sweat, and oil he refuses to rinse off, as well as a smell if he has not for a while. This goes against this explanation of being hypersensitive simply due to the fact that the sensations caused by his hygiene (or lack there of) must be worse if he was that hypersensitive. | ||
While out with [[Sightings and Fan Interactions#Brink (briiiink)|Brink]] and Brink's friends, Daniel was asked if he wanted to try and shower to which Daniel replied "I'm good". Brink and friends told him that it's so that he could get his hair cut, implying that his hair is so "well worn" that they don't dare bring him into a barbershop. Daniel gets visibly uncomfortable during the questioning.{{#evt: | While out with [[Sightings and Fan Interactions#Brink (briiiink)|Brink]] and Brink's friends, Daniel was asked if he wanted to try and shower to which Daniel replied "I'm good".

Another thing that has a detriment against his hygiene is his homelessness. Anything to look after yourself can be hard to find/get for someone living in the streets, obviously. But thanks to how Daniel views the importance of hygiene as an afterthought, he doesn’t do his hygiene much of a service, not even doing the bare minimum, not buying/doing anything that could help his hygiene. | Another thing that has a detriment against his hygiene is his homelessness.

Multiple people who have met Daniel on the streets complained of the odor. | ||
