Wetting

lindseyanne

My older brother is 32. He has autism. He has recently started wetting himself. Twice he has wet the bed and three times in public. He is quite capable and mum says he has never done this since the day he was potty trained. She's despairing as she doesn't know why he is doing it and he won't talk about it as he gets embarrassed. She is assuming it's to do with his Autism, worrying he is depressed or something. I've suggested it could be a medical reason, he tends to not tell us when he is in pain or uncomfortable. Anyone had any experience of this? Why would this begin now when he has never done this before? How do we make this better?

  • Unlike Caelus opinion I actually have autism and I'm going to be 31 in March. For some reason even sleeping in extreme cold makes me wet my bed. I don't ever have anything to drink before bed and I am a trans woman already taking hormones but research after research done by scientists have proven that adult and children with autism tend to have bladder incontinence girls more than boys. The only thing I can advise is for you and your mom to lovingly support him and mention the time you both wet the bed growing up. That way he knows he isn't in trouble for doing it and that it's ok to see a doctor  He might also be the type that don't like going to the doctors so whenever something is physically or even mentally wrong he hides it. I know I do. Just let him know that the doctor can help him with his night time problem, don't say his bed wetting problem, and that if he willingly goes with y'all to the doctor he can go to and name his favorite restaurant or establishment.

    hormones can do it... especially unnatural human man made changes to the entire hormone system like that. you cant just take hormones and not expect issues, if you take hormones you will get incontinence issues and other bladder defects and genital problems. your forcing your body to break and not work like it should do.
