autism | bathroom | bedwetting | risperidone
This paper describes two boys with autism (aged 10 and 11) who could not control their urine when given risperidone therapy. They wet the bed at night while sleeping, and they peed on themselves during the day. The authors suggest that risperidone may have been acting on the brain in these children and thereby causing the problem. The authors did not think that the problem was due to the boys having trouble waking up at night to go to the bathroom. This study included only two children and the authors believe that more studies should be done to see if other children may be having this problem.
