I know that my son has very odd habits. He is scared to death of the bath tub. He will not get into the water if I put bubbles in and he will not go to the toilet if the shower curtain is closed. He is often so frightened of going to the bathroom by himself that he urinates on the seat and sometimes on the floor because he is in such a hurry. He'll put chairs up around the bathtub and near the closet to "block" whatever it is he is afraid of. I have asked the psychologist about this and she said that some kids with Aspergers just have different sensory issues and habits that make them unique. This doesn't mean that it should be acceptable but it makes it a little easier to understand that its just another part of what makes Aspies so unique. Strange as it sounds, they have their own habits and many times, those habits drive us nuts, lol. Have you tried adding this to a point system where there will be consequences when it happens? I'm sorry, I wish I could offer you more advice. I know how frustrating it can be. Hang in there, they need us (as quirky as we may already be, lol) to guide them in this already crazy life :)
