[QUOTE="Janna, post: 235653, member: 2737"] No offense, but this issue wouldn't make or break an Aspergers diagnosis. You could put this under ODD - simple refusal to use the bathroom. My son is Aspie and does not have this or any other issue with hygiene, that doesn't mean he's not Aspergers. I'd really talk to your psychiatrist/therapist/whatever about this one. Here's a good example of D's thinking - they make him brush his teeth at his partial in the morning. He brushes them here in the AM. Brushes them here in the PM. That says to him, I brush my teeth 2x a day. I brush my teeth 2x a day. I brush my teeth 2x a day. 12 years, right? So, if he brushes them at the partial, he doesn't have to brush them here in the morning. Like, goodness, we would never *think* about brushing them 3x a day LOL! I'd think about making accomodations or telling him that it's OK if the toilet makes noise and wakes everyone up. When you pee, you pee in the toilet. Every time. Always. And that doesn't change.
