Toilet training for autistic children

[Muffin0299]

My 9 yr old grandson has a seizure disorder that may be linked to autism.  He is on Depakot & Risperdal.  The main problem is his inability to realize when he needs to use the toilet, resulting in having bowel movements.  He can sit forever until someone notices the odor.  It doesn't bother him & his doctors don't seem too concerned.  Could the medication w or w/o the disorders have anything to do w/this problem.  Or, is it some other reason?  He's going into a new school & with moving to a new town, I'm afraid of what might happen.  Any help is really appreciated.

I'd get him off the Risperdal. That's a nasty drug...
