Major Issues With Bowel Movements And Wiping
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

My 7 year old son is having major problems with bowel movements and wiping. Apparently, he doesn't feel that he has to go all the time. There are times where he will get that feeling and go, but, its not consistent at all. He also has issues with wiping. There are times where since he doesn't always get that feeling to go, he'll have some stuck and it ends up in his underwear. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks in advance!
