[quote=Anonymous]I think people are being too harsh on the OP.  She's not talking about beating the kid -- just giving him a time out.  It may be that she and the professionals think he is developmentally capable, but just doesn't care.  Some kids with sensory issues don't mind the smell or sensation (like the reverse of kids that can't stand bad smells), and its honestly really tough to incentivize those kids.  If you have a kid like that, backing off may not work, because he may be totally happy to live that forever.   Like another kid that doesn't really care to pick up his toys, because the messiness doesn't bother him.  I agree that adjusting the incentives to things that he cares more about may help.  I also second the suggestion to get him on a regular poop schedule -- the GI specialists insist that this can be done, although I haven't had much luck with it.  I've heard of a social worker named Sally Neuberger (sp?) that specializes in potty training issues for SN kids.  Maybe try her.  If other posters have concrete suggestions for "specialists", they should provide names, rather than criticism.  In my experience, the urology and GI specialists are not helpful in this situation -- once they've ruled out the physiological conditions, you're on your own.[/quote]
