Dts1 ASD (6.3) hurt dts2 this morning. He was being very lively and jumped on his dts2 and really hurt him.

I removed his dts2 to another room to comfort him, leaving dts1 in his own room. Once dts2 had calmed down a little and I had checked he was ok physically I went back into dts1. He knows not to jump on people (he does it often and we are working on this to stop it).

I talked calmly to him, but he was very agitated so I took dts2 downstairs to allow him some time alone to calm down.

When I came back up after 5 minutes there was a wet patch on the carpet (cream colour). I asked dts1 if he had tipped his water out and he nodded, followed by a cross "yes".

Anyway today whilst changing his bed I kept getting a whiff of urine and bent down to where the wet patch was and he had obviously done a wee! He's never done this before.

When I spoke with him tonight, he just kept saying "don't know" then eventually we got "because I want to be stupid".

Was this related to stress, anger, frustration or something else, I can usually work out why he has done something.

Ds1 often wets himself in the middle of a meltdown. I've yet to work out if it's something he just loses control of, or whether it's deliberate. But it's very definitely something which happens during periods of anger/frustration.

When I ask ds why (he's 4), he will always say he doesn't know why he did it. So I've learnt not to push it otherwise we end up in a situation where we are asking him a question he genuinely doesn't know the answer to and then he wets himself again.
