Yes, the formal diagnosis is PTSD. We're seeing the therapist today, so I'll know more then about how it ties in with this diagnoisis, since most of what I read links it to ODD and CD.

He does all his own cleanup, and purchases his own underpants. still, no dice. our boy is 11 next month, we’re still fighting this one. nothing we have done so far has made any difference, maybe it will self-resolve like John’s grandson? one can only hope! we are truly grateful he is not a flinger.

On your list, is PTSD also one of the ties?<br /> <br /> My grandson had this from 5 through 11, organic, but we never could figure out the exact problem. Stress was always involved. The most memorable event was Matt boggie boarding at the local beach. He was wearing a very tight fitting wet suit, he came out of the water doing the chicken dance and saying 'Number 2 NOW'. Oh did we try. What a cleanup job. <br /> <br /> It never seemed to be the end of the world, plans were made including toilets always near by, and spare clothes and handy wipes on hand. I might feel differently if he was a flinger, or one who hides his stuff. It seemed to end by itself.
