Is Soiling The Pants Anyway Related To ADD?

My almost 10 year old still soils his pants. We have had movicol and flush outs and my ex husband is at the end of his chain. He says our son may have autism is this related?? We have had a psychologist diagnose ADD. He has behavioural problems which I believe go hand in hand with the ADD. I am really sure though that the constant soiling is not related and we need help on how to stop this PLEASE!!!!! Thank you.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your son, this is very common condition being seen in such age group, there are many method available that you can try, awake the child for voiding during the night keeping in mind the time of his bed wetting, this will give satisfactory result but takes little more time, if this fails then medicine can be tried, I actually administered "Tab Amitriptyline one tab at bed time this gives immediate result, but this is the last option, hope this information helps you, nothing to worry even if you do not try anything then also this will go away with the time for sure, have good day.
