My 17 year old son suffered a TBI 1 and 1/2 years ago. He is home and doing pretty well. Short term memory is a huge issue. The biggest problem we have at this point in time has to with going to the bathroom. He feels like he needs to have a bowel movement all the time. He will sit on the toilet for a while and then use digital stimulation to make himself go. This is causing a problem at school and everywhere else of course. The school asked me to come and take him home and have him home schooled until this problem is resolved.

No one can tell me what to do here!! I have asked every doctor he has as well as his therapists!!

He does not have GI issues but I am taking him to see one anyway. They can't get him in until 3/28. This issue is causing everyone so much stress.

Should I let him just sit there? He knows it is wrong and acknowledges digital stimulation is gross and disgusting unless you are someone who has to use it.

How should I react to this???
