Phantom pain and bed wetting in children

NAS72765

Hi, I’m new to this site and just looking for some advice.  
I have a 9 year old son who has been on the neuro developmental waiting list at CAHMS for three years.  They think he may be on the autism spectrum or may have ADHD. He has major barriers to learning and struggles to manage his emotions (especially anger). 
He has been a bed wetter for a long time and I heard that this can be attributed to autism, does anyone know if this is the case?Also, he often complains of pain in his legs and I had also heard that ‘phantom pains’ can also be found with autism.

 I’m sorry if these seem like silly questions but we are stuck in limbo as we don’t have a diagnosis.

Thank you.

  • Hi there,

    I can't help with the bed wetting but the phantom pains i might be able to relate too.

    Around the same age I had SEVERE growing pain in my legs I literally woke up in the night screaming my legs felt like I was plunged into boiling oil and I ended up in a wheelchair for about 3/4 days I can't really remember and it turns out that for some reason I had a huge random spike in lactic acid build up in my legs.

    It might be something completely different with your son but I thought I'd share that incase you wanted something to ask a doctor or look up it might be something similar.
