My 10 yr old ds has autism and I have to constantly tell him to wipe his butt. He also sits on the toilet with the seat up to poop, ew. I asked why he does not wipe, and he said idk. Gross in my opinion. Not to mention your butt itches if it's dirty

Sit him down and re-explain to him WHY he needs to wipe. Let him know he'll get sore & can get an infection. Let him know he'll itch and everyone will tease him when he scratch's . Tell him He'll smell bad & that he'll get hurt feelings when people tease him for smelling bad & scratching himself all the time. Be honest with him. I have a daughter that leaves quite a bit behind in her undies & I have to explain this to her often. She just doesn't seem to grasp it either. I just keep re-explaining it & She's starting to get much better. She doesn't like the idea of people teasing her or staring at her or talking bad about her because she'll stink or be scratching herself and she doesn't like the idea of hurting and itching either or getting really sick from an infection. If he doesn't listen to you , ask his Doctor to talk to him. Sometimes kids need to hear it from someone else
We still bathe our 10 yr old. But just washing his hair, because he can't get the shampoo all out. He's learning. My dd is 7 and she has just gotten to where she can shower alone. Perhaps it was cuz i just helped her idk, but now I just make sure she has a towel and I check her hair.

He says his stepmother wipes his butt for him, and as of four moths ago-she bathed him also.

It's just a boy thing, I think. Two of my boys had issues with wiping for awhile. One of them until age 5 (granted this one is autistic and slowed significantly developmentally speaking) and the other well..he is age 6 and sitll won't wipe his ass at all.
If he's 7 years old,he's WAY too old for her to be wiping his behind. Now, if he NEEDS help in the tub still, that's understandable, but he really shouldn't still need help ,as the only help a child at that age should need is hair washing if they have long hair or if they have disabilities ( I guess I just assumed he didn't ,so maybe he does & does need help ? )) 7 years old is old enough to bathe and wipe himself and it's very odd for a STEPmom to be doing that for him in my opinion. I'd be pretty upset if I found out another woman was bathing my child and wiping his hind end when he was that old.

OH BIG Hugs mama, you're doing the right thing. Somethings not right over there & you are right to be concerned & getting the lawyer involved. There's just no excuse for all of that. I'm glad he's got a good mom like you ,to make sure there's an end to all of this *hugs* so sorry he's having to go through it at all

Im disgusted. I don't know what to think about this. I know that I will be calling my lawyer Monday morning at 8 am. This is just gross. I am highly upset that he doesn't know how to do this, and that he thinks it is okay to not wipe.
EW.

Are these really inappropriate pictures? *pics*
Does sex in the 1st 30 days kill a relationship?
