I just recently found out that I have AS, less than a year ago. It was masked by my ADHD, which is pretty severe, so no one picked up on the AS. I definetely think that the earlier you are dx'd, the easier life will be I do not know when I will have my lap band, I hope soon, though!!

I see I am on a different side of autism than most of you! I have Asperger Syndrome I am *hoping* to have a lapband surgery before the year is up, but we'll see how things go. Anyways...I just wanted to pop in and say Hi!!

My daughter Morgan did this for a while. I don't think it was that she wanted to play in it, just that she did not want it in her pants. Try as hard as you can to catch him going and change him quick. Maybe when he understands that you are the one to clean him up he will come to you for a change and not try to take it out himself. My daughter is 11 and she went through this at about 2 1/2-3 years old so I really do not remember what exactly I did. It will stop. They go through phases of behaviors. Morgan is now again flushing things down the toilet. She has not done this in years. Hope this helps in some way. Susan 237/137

My little boy is 2 1/2. everytime he poops he plays in it. I always try to catch him as soon as he goes. It's hard to catch him. He will get it on my carpet, sofa ect. I'm at the end of my rope on what to do. He is pretty low funtioning. Just at my wits end. Thanks Kristin
