[QUOTE="zaftigmama, post: 496135, member: 13038"] Take some deep breaths. In, out....ah. Breathe, always breathe. OK. Toileting stuff tends to provoke strong responses, so be easy with yourself and easy with him. I have most definitely known Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids (high functioning) /ADHD kids who need reminding around stuff we take for granted, like wiping after a BM or wrapping up/throwing away a used sanitary pad. I would talk to him and ask him what would help him. You could post something in the bathroom--maybe something funny, like one of those bears from the TP ads--or just an icon of TP. Only you know what would embarrass him, so tread carefully. I'd ask him why he doesn't wipe--if he just forgets, if he doesn't like putting his hands down there, if he doesn't like how it feels--and go from there. I would go more the social story route (here's what we do when we go #2--wipe, flush, wash hands) or using visual cues before I add another medication, but that's just me. Yes, he should know to wipe at 11, but our kids are disabled and this is just one of the many, many things that go with the territory. Hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
