[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, we've seen the gastro folks.  There was constipation, but we've ruthlessly eliminated it (pun intended) over the past year.  I've been doing the schedule and "rewards" over the past 6-9 months, and it just doesn't work.  He stands there and repeats that he doesn't need to go, then it leaks out of him 10 minutes later.  The 11:52 poster that says "He will probably urinate most of the time because his bladder is full" is 100% incorrect.  He has absolutely no idea that his bladder is full, and very little idea of how to work the muscles/sphincter to empty it.  I've seen him pee on the floor a foot away from a toilet, and not even realize he was peeing.  If we stand there at the toilet long enough, then some will eventually go into the toilet, but often it's not even a full emptying of the bladder.  It's just not a sustainable system -- he needs to learn when it is that he needs to go, and/or how to control the muscles that keep the pee in and/or let it out.  I was really hoping that other parents of kids with ASD and/or SPD would have a system that works to train the brains/muscles/neurological system/whatever.  I guess I'll soldier on with the timed voiding and meaningless reward system...[/quote]
