Can Autism cause bedwetting? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello. I am a 17 year old boy. I have been a bedwetter as far as I remember. As a child (a kid under 10), it really didn't bother me, but now I am searching for a solution to this and don't know where to even find information about this.

Edit: Thanks for the answers. Might also be testicular torsion + operation or my "healthy" lifestyle.

Hi! In short, yes.

Hyposensitivity is a term to look into.

In short, it means dampened signals - or slow processing of signals - from the body, like feeling cold, warm, hungry, full bladder, pain, etc.

Some people who have it strongly say they just got used to setting timers for going to the bathroom and eating.

I always thought, that I am hypersensitive, but after lookin into it i'm confused. Can I be hypersensitive to sound and touch, but hyposensitive to body signals?

I definitely feel I am. Lights and sounds get me, but that feeling in my stomach? Am I hungry, angry, or do I simply have to poop? Time will tell, I guess x)
