ADHD/PDD NOS child plays with feces - help
by debbysdaughter, Jan 30, 2008 06:49PM
my son is 7 years old, and was diagnosed 4 years ago with ADHD, combined type and PDD-NOS. He has a severe speech delay, and has been on medications for the ADHD and for mood for almost 4 years. He is generally very well behaved, verbalizes all of his needs and wants, participates in special ed classroom and is making enormous progress with his IEP goals, etc. He is sweet, cooperative and cheerful, but 2 - 3 times per week, he will have a BM after nap, or before getting out of bed in the morning, and even though he is completely potty trained, he will poop in his room, and then wipe it on the floor, on his legs, etc. He is able (and has often) to poop in the toilet. What do you think could be going on with him. So far, our psychiatrist has not been too helpful in this odd behavior.
