Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 , I would definitely check with the doctor about the possibility of a urinary tract infection. This can cause or contribute to accidents. Other possibilities, in my experience with my daughter: anxiety, medication (including OTC cold medication). How old is your daughter? Can she tell you in any way if she is having discomfort? Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Does she have a bladder infection? Nadine Tolieting regression? Has anyone been on the right track with their girl using the bathroom only to suddenly have her having accidents during the day after shes finally been trained for over a year??? I was thinking maybe she's just experimenting with how long she can hold it?? Sound like good thinking? Last night she had two accidents back to back. I've talked to the school to see if anything was off there. They said no. Would and infection cause her to have an accident? Any other medical condition??

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 - My daughter is 6. She may. I asked her if she had any pain when she went to the bathroom, she said no but you know how literal these kids can be. I have a call into the doctor now. She's not on any meds. She won't take them even if she had to. We do better with injections. Go figure, bloodwork is not a problem here?!!? I asked the school about anxiety issues or changes they assure me that there is none.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Hi ! My daughter has usually had accidents when her schedule is off. I'm not sure if she really recognizes her own body's signals, I think she just follows her schedule and it has times to go to the bathroom so she does. Then when there is a change in schedule, for an assembly at school for example, she will have an accident because her regular opportunity didn't happen and she didn't recognize the need to go on her own. Allie has also had accidents when she was so engrossed in something she just couldn't leave off doing it for a moment to go. That is usually when she has the accident practically in the bathroom door because she held off too long to hold it! BTW, when you said " last night " did you mean in her sleep or during the evening before bed? Sandi (Allie's Mom) Houston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I work with high-fuctioning high schoolers...They refuse to try ahead of time because they swear they don't feel the need to go, until they have to rush to the bathroom. Also, an ASD consultant I have worked with for my child, has told me that typically they (boys and girls) don't feel the urge to go, like nt's. My child has to be on a schedule that includes timed breaks. Crystal Minneapolis,MN D22@... wrote: Hi ! My daughter has usually had accidents when her schedule is off.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 That's interesting Crystal, I appreciate knowing it really is a tendency and not just a trait of my daughter! Sandi (Allie's Mom) Houston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 - No bladder infection. So we wait to hear back from the behaviorist. I think the doctor was uncomfortable with the idea that she had autism. Spent about 45 seconds with us. The nurse was much more personable then the doctor...not our regular. She of course said if it continues to follow up with our regular doctor.....this is what made me feel like she didn't really understand autism. Dah it's behavioral and this may be a reaction to something she can't verbalise. We'll see. -- In Autism_in_Girls , deester_s wrote: > > - > My daughter is 6. She may.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 - Thanks for your reply, Sandi. My daughter has been daytime trained for almost 2 years. Night time trained for almost a year. I'm talking about accidents that happen during waking hours. She will still have night accidents regularly so that doesn't worry me too much. Many of the accidents were at home. So I'm not sure about your therory. I suppose? -- In Autism_in_Girls , D22@... wrote: > > Hi ! > > My daughter has usually had accidents when her schedule is off.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 My daughter refused to use a certain bathroom in school when she was in first grade, because the one-on-one aide and he r500 pound cousin tta were harming her physically. I had to remove her from school and they moved the woman, but she never had to answer to anything, because my daughter was completely non-verbal at the time. Look into some of those things for her sake. Candis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
