My 7 year old still can't bum wipe very well.

I'm open to any tips at this point, I've tried increasing his motor skills by wiping chocolate spread off of a plate, trunk twisting exercises. Reminders, "hand over hand" guiding.

These haven't worked.

Does he have some of those moist wipes that might help?

Do you have any other concerns?

Yes we have tried wipes, it's not any better.

A long list of other concerns but none relevant to this particular topic. Nothing stopping him wiping.

If there are a lot of other concerns are you absolutely positive that they're not related? If for instance you suspect ASD could try gave Dyspraxia too?

I'm 99% sure they are unconnected. It's seizures and tonsils rather than ASD.
