I have been asking about this for years. No one seems to have a clue. She

drinks so fast and gulps it down that I am beginning to think part of it is

that she doesn't give her body time to realize it has been watered and part

maybe it's something she can do for herself and part is that she loves certain

drinks (sunny D for one) and so she goes for taste. I just don't think she

knows when enough is enough.

she is fine. We keep her monitored on that as well. Believe me I have

questioned all this many times over the last 5 years or so. The blood tests

come

back normal.

Carol I was curious about the excessive drinking. I have a friend whose

DS son drinks water all the time. He will be 45 this year and is now

having problems with urinary incontinence. From what she tells me all

medical areas have been checked out and are OK except for not emptying

his bladder completely and he is on a med for that. Louise

Hi ~ I know this may not be the reason for the excessive drinking, but wanted to

mention that prior to Dylan being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes he drank

excessively....which was one of the warning signs. We are talking like major

drinking....cup after cup after cup. Was having lots of accidents too...due to

the excessive drinking & what we later found out was high blood sugar. I don't

want to scare anyone & have them think this is the reason, but it might be

something worth checking into if you haven't before. (and let me tell you....I

don't wish this darn diabetes on anyone!!!)

loves to drink lots too, hes checked out routinely. UIHC says its

because he is a mouth breather and loses so much water exhaling, which makes him

ofcaurse thirsty, but also in manybooks on autism they say they drink ots and

often too, didnt say why that i recall. We limit the fluids after 8pm

otherwise he wets the bed, unless its a special outing or something. then we

wake

him up around 2am or so and have him go, he usually will for us. He wears

pull-ups everynight but he has such a bladder capacity (a family joke--hes

still

going) if he wets he wets through everything. shawna

Carol & Becky, I found this Diabetes Alert on Web Md and since my

son and many others take Risperidol, and other anitpsychotic drugs I

thought this may be of interest.www.antipsychotic-injuries.com Cyndi
