My son was only diagnosed about 3 months ago with low to moderate autism with a speech delay, just before his 3rd birthday.
When he poops, he removes his diaper immediately and tries cleaning it (gets everywhere).
He pees in the toilet, he knows when he needs to poop, but refuses to anywhere but in the diaper/pull up… or yesterday, on the floor.
I’m at a loss. I don’t know what to do. We keep him in underwear most of the day. He runs to pee in the potty or the toilet. It’s the poop. He is ready. He knows the feeling.
But I have no idea what else to do. I’m constantly cleaning it up from the floors. And the truth is, many children without ASD have the same issue, but I don’t think they get poop all over the place.
Anyone have any suggestions? My head hurts from crying so much.
