How to break the habit of undressing for bowel movements for DS7

[Anonymous]

I had completely forgotten that my son used to do this! He kept his shirt on but took his pants/underwear fully off. Eventually he just stopped, I guess. I can see being little with little legs and being more comfortable that way.

DS is autistic (DH has never been diagnosed) but I did raise this to a friend who reported to me that her husband also does this.

I’m not someone who ever has but apparently it is more common than I assumed.

My autistic son does this. 😂

I never pooped at school until I was in college.

I never pooped at school either. Like maybe once during K-12.

+2 So does mine (he's almost 5)! I didn't realize this wasn't uncommon for those on the spectrum! I've told him he doesn't need to fully undress, but it's not sinking in. Whatever, not going to die on this hill

My son does this. He does not take his socks off, but pants and under wear and often shirt. Does not do it at school or when we are outside. He only does it at home. He is 7 and not autistic though sometimes I wonder if he has ADHD.

My DH, who is not autistic, also prefers to poop naked. I would not bother worrying about this, honestly. I don't think it matters.

My nephew (not autistic) used to do this when he was little. For a while he even insisted on a shower every time.

This thread reminded me about an older guy I worked with who would take his pants off and visibly leave them laying on the floor of the stall while using it.

We were all mystified by this. I didn’t realize it was a thing.

What if your husband is on an airplane? Fully undressed then too? Even socks and shoes?

I do this and so do most of my friends.

First off, no one does #2 at work unless it is an emergency. Hold it until you get home.

Second, at home you strip naked because it is so much more comfortable.

Who is pooping on airplanes? Like in a non-emergency situation. The urge just strikes and you head to the lavatory to drop a deuce? Like what a way to live. I go in the morning at my house after coffee and rarely go at work or in public.

#2 is something that takes less than a minute or two. Why would you fully undress for comfort for this quick errand to the bathroom? If you are going to like half an hour, there is a gut issue that you need to talk to a doctor about.

At a truck stop is your DH just parading his bare ass around while dropping a deuce . What a sick puppy
