How are Autism and Incontinence Related?
Children and Adults with Autism may experience Incontinence due to the the following symptoms of autism:
SENSORY ISSUES
Children and adults of all ages with Autism often experience over or under-sensitivities to sounds, lights, touch, and other stimuli.
When learning to use the bathroom, the loud sound of a toilet flushing or the cold feel of a toilet seat may trigger a sensory problem that disrupts the learning process.

Learning Delays.
Transitions can be difficult for people with Autism, particularly when it comes to learning a new skill For children, going from a familiar routine of using a diaper to using a toilet can be a very big change.

BODY AWARENESS
Many people with autism may not recognize the urge to use the bathroom until it’s too late.
Awareness that the bladder or bowel is full is called interoceptive awareness.
People with autism tend to have an impairment in the receptors that transport the signal from the body to the brain that the bladder needs to be eliminated.
This can also result in a lack of bowel control.

GASTROINTESTINAL SYMPTOMS
Children with ASD have more gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, constipation and diarrhea, compared with their peers.
Selective eating, lack of fluid intake, and anxiety can lead to constipation for children with ASD.
Constipation can be a culprit of overflow soiling, or bowel leaks, when stool from higher up in the large bowels leaks out from around the constipated area.
This leakage can be mistaken for Diarrhoea.
