I have a dd aged 10 with ASD. Over the last 18 months or so she has been wiping her bum on everything, our clothes, towels, her clothes, the curtains whatever and it’s driving me crazy.
We have used social stories, spoken to her about it (her understanding is good) but she still does it every single day. She attends an Sen school and her class is very sensory based, so she gets a lot of sensory input.
She also hides whatever she’s used to.
She does have anxiety around having a poo anyway and this behaviour also coincides with a reluctance to wear clothes but I just feel I’m going round in circles.
At the weekend we visited some friends and she wiped her bum on their tea towel.
I’m at my wits end, any useful suggestions would be great. TIA
