[QUOTE="MICHL, post: 234941, member: 321"] Hi YoyoMama, my difficult child (13) still has encopresis and he sounds alot like your son. His diagnosis are Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)/not otherwise specified, ADD, ODD. He is very very ODD and especially now that he's a teen. His pediatrician has me giving him benefiber every day (mixed in with juice or apple sauce, et) as maintenance, and the Miralax for 1 week when he is constipated. It's a chore every day to do this, and he still has the "problem" at this age. When I see his other developmental issues I don't think "age" even has any bearing. I think Susie's post is right on the fact that it could be a sign of an autism spectrum disorder. My difficult child also has problems with other hygiene like properly flossing/brushing, or even just brushing, showering, etc., and doesn't seem to make the connection that it's just one of those things we have to do, it's a requirement that everyone does these things daily. Does your difficult child show an interested in brushing & showering? If so then there is much hope that he will learn to control this problem more quickly that my difficult child. PM me anytime if you want to "chat". Michelle [/QUOTE]
