Anonymous no.2 to anonymous:
your child might have unpleasant feeling during the defecation caused by constipation. This could be possible reason to withold the stool.

The constipation is often caused by improper hydration or nutrition, food allergies, yeast overgrowth, slowed peristaltic movements, low physical activity.
You should get some laboratory testings done but also consult a dietitian.

We used to have similar problem with our child.
What helped us the best were a proper diet and supplementation with gut friendly bacteria, acidophilus and bifidus strain (jogurt or capsules).

I hope someone can help with a problem we are having with our 5 year old high functioning autistic son. Although our son was successfully potty trained at about 3 years old, he started to withhold bowel movements when he was nearly 5 years old. We have no idea why. We have now had him on laxatives and mineral oil for about 8 months. Whenever we try to cut back on the mineral oil or laxatives, he vigorously withholds his bowel movements. It is very extreme. We have talked to doctors and to our ABA consultant but no one has any answers. We introduced a powerful reinforcer for after bowel movements, but that didn't work. The witholding exacerbates all of his other autistic symptoms and it is very distressing. Has anyone out there had a similar experience and does anyone have any suggestions? We are out of ideas and desperate.

Thanks

Hey Everyone!!! Don't forget to sign up for this workshop. We are extremely lucky to have the honour of hearing Dr. Newman speak for such a low price and without having to incur the extra costs of flying to the United States to do so.

If you register quickly you may still be able to receive the new book by Dr. Newman.

FEAT of BC is unable to afford to bring these well known speakers up so we are lucky that we have someone that is willing to do so. Let's show our support by attending!!! This will be a great workshop for both parents and therapists and anyone who is working with a child/adult with autism.

Hope to see you there!!

Barbara
