Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I mean no disrespect but it's much bigger than simply being taught and expected to use the restroom. I have two kids with autism that still have frequent accidents. Some peoples bodies don't work as well as others. You can expect all you want but some kids can't deliver. I agree, we shouldn't give up, but your post made it sound like this is a parenting problem that can be quickly solved with the right professional. My kids ped. suggested an RX with more and worse side effects than the wetting. I figured out on my own (after negative test results for diabetes, etc. from Dr.) That yeast overgrowth is closely tied to their wetting. With diet changes improvement came.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 I still remember reading Donna 's book & how she has to schedule eating & going to the bathroom b/c she doesn't sense hunger or having to go to the bathroom, so I agree, in some cases, it's physiological. Even though it's physiological, hopefully there is some help out there. Marie > I mean no disrespect but it's much bigger than simply being taught and > expected to use the restroom.
