My DD may have Aspergers - she is 4 years old tomorrow and has only started nursery this term, but they have already spotted that she is very different. We had thought she was just quirky, but they feel there may be something more... and are going to ask for an assessment. She has lots of issues - food refusal, social difficulties, lack of eye contact, fine motor skills are difficult, and she is highly anxious about all sorts of things - but is loving, funny and imaginative. Recently we have been trying to tackle her refusal to poo in the loo - she still waits til night time when she has a pull up on and then goes. She is fine with wees. Can anyone advise how we can help her move onto the loo. we've tried bribery (with big bribes!), 'poo goes to pooland' and reward charts - with no luck. We were just going to go cold turkey and get rid of the pull ups - but she has been so stressed about it that I'm not sure that would be a good idea now... she also suffers fro constipation for which she is on movicol. Any ideas welcomed!
