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.
