[quote=Anonymous][quote=kristenlc1]My son is 16. Has high functioning autism. He's been thru a lot of transition this year--changed schools, his sisters are in college and he misses them. Has just started his growth spurt. If we don't wake him up every night around 130am he will wet the bed. I don't even know when he's drinking enough for this to happen, he barely drinks at night! [b]He does fit the profile for pathological demand avoidance--I did read somewhere that kids like this avoid their body's signals about being hungry or needing to pee because it's a sort of demand they have to remedy. Anyone btdt?[/b] We can get him checked out by a urologist but I sense there won't be anything physically wrong. We are all worn out emotionally--obviously this is a humiliating circumstance-- and even a bit physically from the alarm going off in the wee hours every night. [/quote]

That’s not what that means.

Make him get himself up or wet the bed and clean it himself. Assuming he’s high functioning as you say he is. [/quote]
