6 year old Aspergers and wetting herself

pinklaces34

Hi guys, my 6 year old daughter is currently going through diagnosis for aspergers, she has gone through stages of wetting herself at certain times of year from when she was potty trained.  It seems to always happen when the weather starts getting colder.  She did it again at the start of winter last year but now she has just started doing it again.  She has only done it at home so far but I am really worried its going to alienate her even more if she does it at school again.  We have also always had problems with wiping, flushing, hand washing with her.  Is there anything I can try.  Also this has been the worse Christmas so far in terms of her aspergers she is stimming a lot more, generally very bad concentration.

Thanks

    Our little boy who is also 6 but is non verbal autistic has just started doing the same thing. He's been toilet trained for about 2 years.  He went through a phase last summer of soiling himself when he was playing outside in the garden.  Thankfully that phase seemed to stop although we have no idea why it ever started.  We wondered if it was a sensory thing. Last Tuesday out of the blue, he wet himself twice in the night, twice in school then once during horse riding after school.  He was then dry every day between Wednesday and yesterday but wet himself in the night each night.  Last night he didn't wet himself and has just wet himself twice this afternoon. 

    I wondered if your daughter's behaviour had changed at all and/or whether you got to the bottom (sorry!) of what was causing it?
