[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 162442, member: 1991"] I would also check out whether he has any sensory integration problems. difficult child 1 does, connected to his Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) (Asperger's Syndrome) and this was causing us problems for a while. He was compliant, but we needed to remind him to "go". When toilet training, difficult child 1 would get very anxious about where to put it - he didn't want to put it in his nappy, and he didn't want to sit on the potty or toilet. He would instead try to hold on to it, hoping that maybe the day would come when he would never need to empty his bowels again. In his case, the acute part of the problem only lasted a few months. On the chronic level - we had to remind him to go, for about ten years or more. He just wouldn't notice the smell coming out of his skin, he had left things for so long. difficult child 3 was a problem of a different sort. Again, Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) issues meant he wouldn't be aware of soiling or of the need to go. Also, he too felt that excretion in general was something he would grow out of. I've told this story before, but it is classic - difficult child 3 got up in the morning one day and barged noisily through the bathroom door as he always does as he heads to the loo. As I heard the sound of Niagara Falls (something about male bladder capacity that astounds me) I heard him exclaim in exasperation, "EVERY MORNING there's wee!" He also would refuse to use any toilet away from home. He was phobic about hand dryers and also about anyone else using the same facility at the same time. After a while we were able to persuade him to use the disabled loo. Now, he's fine. Marg [/QUOTE]
