My 9 year old asd son has been urniating on his bedroom floor now for the past few months. There s no medical reason for him doing this it is just simply the fact he can't be bothered to go to the toilet. He's not happy with the smell and i have tried everything to get rid of it and tried to explain to him that its there because he wees on the floor. He has done it so much the smell carries round the house and i am getting extremely upset now that i can't get rid of the smell no matter how i try and you can see with the looks on peoples faces when they enter the house how bad its getting. I really haven't a clue where to go from here. I have tried reward charts taking xbox time and other things like this i am clueless.

  • One thing to remember is that people with ASCs often get so absorbed in what they are doing that they ignore the full bladder feeling.  It's not intentional, I do it myself and then it's a mad rush to get to the loo in time.  One of the things in that blurb I posted above was about vibrating watches which go off every so often to remind the child.  Alternatively, if you don't find it to difficult to do/too annoying you could do regular toilet check-ins with your son.
