Bowels and PDA

hi,I wondered if anyone had any ideas they could share... my 10 yr old son with PDA doesn't recognise feeling of needing to have his bowel open. this results in poo in pants and hands.  if he's excited this will mean he will catch the poo in his hands, throw it and then run to toilet to finish his movement (Then the dog will bring it in). If he's bored he will soil himself but because he's not moving he will shuffle to toilet Keeping his hands out of it. If he's distracted and not sure he will check using his hands ... yes you know what comes next. Anyway, I tried suggesting that the goosebumps feeling he has could be his way knowing he needs to loo now, but I wonder if you all had any ideas on how to help him recognise the feeling before it's too late. Obviously would be awesome to have a five minute warning but we can't have it all

  • Thank you Quaker, that all makes perfect sense.  I really appreciate your response,you've shared some personal stuff there but your insight to PDA is so useful.  My son certainly has that type of thing with his body, going for a walk not exactly on his terms often brings out some failing part of his body.
