aspergers and toilet problem

mummy of 3

hi all my son is 8 and has a diagnosis of aspergers. He has meet all his developmental targets since birth but recently it seems he is regressing back to a toddler. He has soiled himself at school 2 times this week and he sometimes refuses to use his fork at meal times saying that babies dont use a fork or spoon (we dont let him have a knife at mealtimes as he self harms) he sometimes wont get dressed unless we get him dressed we have no idea where this is coming from and we are very concerned. We are waiting to see CAMHS again but that could be months before we get an appointment ive taken him to the doctor 3 times and they just keep saying we have to wait for CAMHS does anyone have any adive please thank you x

  • hi mummyof3 - what a difficult situation.  I haven't had to deal with regression, apart from when we had a really traumatic time many yrs ago.  He lost all his speech for a few wks, going back to squeals, grunts etc.   When normality reasserted itself he speech returned + he was back to his old self.  Is he showing signs of distress at all or does he seem at ease with the situation?   My son is interested in his early yrs, among other things.  He likes things he remembers from that time + filling in the gaps in his memory as well.  Cd he be trying to re-experience those yrs?  Sorry if I'm not being much use!
