[quote=Anonymous]It's not necessarily a PDA response. Autistic people can struggle with the process of sensing and interpreting internal bodily signals (this sense is interoception). [b]I agree with you about the interoception part, he definitely struggles with that overall. [/b]

Maybe your son doesn't recognize these bodily signals and in the past mostly went on routine for when to use the bathroom?

My autistic teen daughter is like this. When her regular daily schedule changes -- school vacation, over the summer, etc. it really throws her off for eating, bathrooming, etc. She actually has to write out a schedule for herself to remember to do those things.

Autistic people also can struggle with changing/adapting their routines (inflexibility, rigidity).

Shaming is NOT the way to deal with it. Can you talk with him about it in a non-judgmental way to find a solution? I’m sure he doesn’t feel great about the situation. [/quote] [b]We don't shame him- we just deal with it. but I do like the idea of enlisting him to find a solution.Thx! [/b][/quote]
