RE: [VerbalBehavior] Uncommon problem ?

[Guest guest]

Wow. My son is going through this exact same problem! It's been going on

for several months now. He's 10 also.

We've been to the urologist and nephrologist, and so far every test has come

back normal.

He is outputting about 8 times as much urine as he should be (we measured

it) but they have no clue why.

In the meantime, it is really upsetting him. :-( I think it is really hard

on his self-esteem.

If anybody has any thoughts, I'd appreciate hearing them too!

[VerbalBehavior] Uncommon problem ?

Hi all,

I’m posting this letter for my friend’s autistic son who indeed needs help.

He’s 10 now, and this is his problem: Since last month, after a vacation out

of town with family, he started making water too often during all day long:

every 15 minutes in the morning and every five minutes in the evening. Many

times, right after having pee and putting on trousers, he puts it off again,

tries to make water but there was no water anymore. Medical test shows no

infection. His pediatrician said that it could be a signal of sexual arousal

(but he seems not old enough to have that). His mother said there was

nothing special happened to him during vacation time so she really doesn’t

know what cause his problem. The only way to stop him from going to the

bathroom too often is: taking him out to the supermarket, playing game… But

this trouble lasts for more than a month already and she doesn’t know what

to do except waiting.

I wonder if anyone have experienced this problem and whether behavior

intervention would help, and HOW?

(I myself have an autistic son too, he’s only 3 – it’s still early to think

about the above problem could happen to him later, but I can't help

worrying!)

Thanks in advance for any input.

Regards.

Hoa (in Vietnam)
