My friend has a mildly autistic son who is 9 1/2. He has always had bathroom issues as far as training him.The bottom line is, he is still pooping in a 'pull-up' or 'goodnights'. They tried doing underwear for awhile and it just didn't faze him. Nothing seems to. Part of the problem I think too is that they live with her in-laws, and when my friend tries to work with her son on this issue, grandma usually steps in saying 'let it be'. So my question is wondering if anyone has any ideas for them. Besides moving out- they want to and are working on it, but it's not feasible for them right now. I'm just hoping maybe someone has an insight to this that could help them with this issue.
