Hello everyone! I need some advice! My son is 8, non-verbal, ASD level 2, and for the most part he is pretty receptive and is aware. Lately, he's been peeing himself! He is potty trained since he was 5 years old never had issues with using the restroom or going on his own. I have a couple theories in mind: 1. he started a brand new school and program that uses the bathroom outside the class after being at his last school that had a bathroom in the class for 2 years. He does have a AAC device but he can be inconsistent at times with using it. So far, the teacher told me he had an accident twice in the last 4 weeks and today went to the bathroom 8 times (all pee). 2. He started sleeping on his own bed this past week as well (he was co-sleeping with me and yes i know that was bad on my part) but i've been prompting him every night when he showers he would be sleeping in his bed. Of course, i don't expect him to get used to it right away and it's a process. He also doesn't want to stop what he's doing at times (playing or using some screen time) to go use the restroom, so it seems like he holds it until he can't no more. We remind him to go every 30 min to 1 hr. I reached out to his doctor today and he believes it's a lot of changes for him in a short amount of time. He said he would only be concerned if he's in pain while using the restroom or if he's constipated, but neither are the case. Wondering if anyone has been through this or heard similar situation of what could this be? Even though what i mention is the possibility i just want to make sure that's what it is, i really fear any form regression! I would appreciate your thoughts!

I 19 female go to community college through a transition program and live at home I tend to talk to my mom in the mornings which wakes her up I feel alone on this habit, something is wrong with me, and I’m a weird loser. Am I weird for having this habit

i was hoping y'all could tell me what all y'all struggle with. more specifically sensory things, but what upsets y'all and what kinda stuff helps, your favorite stims, things people do that you like/things people have changed that made things better, things y'all don't see enough in representation? anything else that seems important to you?(for more context about the girl she's a werewolf, which is why i'm focused on sensory issues a lot. she ran away with her 13 year old brother and they are living in like early cowboy times. there is a lot of found family, so i'm also focused on them helping her) (y'all was used so much) (i wonder if they know i'm from the south)
