I am doing research and writing a story about a character in high school with Asperger's.  Do you believe a possible symptom or something she suffers with is...not being able to tell other people that she has to go to the bathroom?

Is that a fear that someone with Asperger's might have?  They might hold their urine in for long periods of time and not tell someone they have to pee badly??

If you know of any other interesting symptoms, please let me know for my story.

Not peeing. just to let people know of certain issues of whatever's going on. or just talking to people in general of normal things.

I don't think it's an Asperger's thing persay. Some people, just for whatever reason, have a "shy bladder" and have trouble peeing in front of other people.

Not sure about having issues with telling people they have to pee though. I think maybe that's just an extreme shyness thing?  

Anyway, good luck with your story! I am a writer too, so I'd like to see it when you're done!

I have Asperger's and sometimes I do hold it in without telling anyone, but usually it's for an good reason, such as a lecture, classwork, etc.

It's not specifically to do with peeing.

It would be due to an increased feeling of embarassment.
