kay74 Report post Posted April 17, 2016 (edited) Hi, Im after help and advice please, I have twin girls who are 12 and recently started their periods, within 2 weeks of each other. They are both on the more severe end of the spectrum, and one has very little speech and functions at about age 5/6. I thought we were handling the periods really well, much better than I expected but this time round she has started pooing herself instead of going to the toilet. I'm guessing it is maybe because she is wearing a pad she thinks it's a nappy (although she stopped wearing them about 5 years ago). has anyone else heard of this problem? Also, has anyone with girls on the spectrum decided to go ahead and put them on the mini pill? I have read about it as an option if they are not coping, but my gp is not interested in helping, there is no school nurse (budget cuts) and I really don't know where to turn. Thankyou in advance **Moderator note have moved this topic to the 'beyond adolescence' section** trekster Edited April 18, 2016 by trekster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trekster Report post Posted April 18, 2016 I would try and find a more understanding GP. Another option is hormone blockers to prevent puberty. Or the depot injection. Hope you find some help soon, make a complaint to your GP practice if they continue to be unhelpful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
