Autism and Toileting
As an autism consultant since 1996, and a person diagnosed with autism at the age of two, I am very aware of the wide range of issues that can come together as a ‘toileting drama’ for someone with autism. I have a video over at Autism Hangout where I take people through the wide range of underlying issues and their associated low/no cost strategies and approaches.
Some of the underlying issues include:
Exposure Anxiety
ODD
PDA
counterdependency
bladder shyness
parcopresis
coprophilia
Urolagnia
Salicylate intolerance
Autonomic dysfunction
Learned helplessness
Dissociation
