[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 276114, member: 3419"] Hi Michelle, I am so sorry to hear that. Have you made any changes to his diet? He may have allergies. My son is allergic to gluten and milk products. We can always tell, I mean ALWAYS tell, when he's had wheat. It's so hard at this age, when you're expecting him to act like a teenager but he's still acting like a preschooler. You have to remember that with-a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), he's several yrs younger emotionally. Do you have him do his own laundry? He should definitely be tall enough and capable of doing it. That should help a lot. My difficult child hates cleaning poopy underwear. I showed him how to use Shout, and rub the fabric, and he was clearly repulsed (yaaay!). It helped a lot to get him to stop some of his pant-pooping. But not all. I'd say we're 90% better, though, between behavior mod and dietary changes. Even though your son doesn't care, you have to teach him to follow your rules. Sometimes when my son gets in that mood/mode, where he says, "I don't care," I repeat it like a robot until he gives in and does whatever he's supposed to do. Other times, I charge him a quarter for ea time he says it. IOW, he's not allowed to say, "I don't care," even if it's true. Rules are rules, and you don't poop in your pants. If you do, you clean it up. The really hard part is not yelling. Sigh. Detach, detach, detach. [/QUOTE]
