Best Answer

People with autism frequently are unable to determine the signals that their body sends to them (such as feeling feverish, pain, stomach ache, or needing to urinate). They have to be asked frequently as children and then get used to a schedule or they can have accidents. It takes playing 20 questions with my son (age 29) to find out what is ailing him when he does not feel well. I have to ask "Do you feel warm?", "Does your body ache?, if yes, "Where do you ache?", is it a" dull ache" or a "sharp ache?", etc. It is mostly a processing deficit, not physical or mental.
