Reply from Joan, Child's Age 13 - 3/9/02 - IP#: 80.225.80.186John – I saw your posting while replying to Maggie (see my postings below). I don’t know about the incontinence, but your description of Michael’s behaviour(loner, rages/tantrums) could just indicate Asperger’s Syndrome. Out son Tom has Asperger’s and also wets the bed, but the latter is almost certainly hereditary. It may be worth investigating the Asperger’s possibility further. The best way would be to do a search on “Asperger’s Syndrome” using the Google.com search engine, but for a start try: http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/ and check the symptoms to see if they fit Michael. If many of them do, I should seek medical advice, because things can be done to help Asperger’s sufferers. Best of luck. |
