[QUOTE="lovelyboy, post: 493573, member: 8045"] Hi welcome to a very caring and supportive forum! I have learned so much from all this wonderfull people! My son was also at first diagnosed with ODD..... It turned out later that it is anxiety disorder....some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)......He also have Auditory processing problems.....but this is very difficult to picture up as a parent....we still get angry about things and then later realize he misunderstood completely! My son also soil his pants, but just little bit.....at first we got VERY angry, before we knew he had issues....this sadens me so much that his pead didnt gave me a hint that he suspected anything! We could have saved us all so many heartache! I am not in a position to give andvice....but if I may.....dont even bother to upset you all regarding the soiling....believe me I tried 5 yrs! Now that I know he has sensory problems, he really sometimes cant feel he has to go.....he doesnt like the sensory feeling when he poo, coming out.....he hates the smell, doesnt want to touch it...I still have to whipe him most of the time! If possible.....try and have a discussion with him regarding pooing.....how it feels, if its a "funny" feeling....what he likes or dont like about it.....some kids like the sensation of poo in their pants.....some dont like the smell of the toilet, some dont like the noice, the darkness......the toiletpaper.....it can be plenty of things! Yes he does realize its inappropriate....my son feels so shy and guilty if he mess....he even hides his undies. But I agree....try and make it a matter of fact thing....I have given him some spare undies and we worked out a plan what to do if it happens at school.... I KNOW its a very jucky misrable thing to deal with.....its VERY hard for us to try and stay calm in this situations! Strenghts! Ps.....my son usually soils when there is stressfull things thats going to happen, like school concerts, school starting, conflict with friends.....so in a way, it helps me to know whats going on inside of him!
