Best Answer

A bowel movement means you excreted feces through the large intestine. And because everyone has bowel movements, it can't be a symptom of Asperger's Syndrome. CLARIFICATION by Parker Gabriel, person with AS: Even though the human abdomen does have a nervous system all its own, which sometimes operates independently of the main one centrally clustered in the brain, colonic elimination of solid body wastes ultimately has nothing whatsoever to do with brain function. Additional Comment: Parents of children with Asperger's Syndrome often notice unusual bowel movement symptoms (e.g., chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation) in those children. The child could have chronic diarrhea or chronic constipation for years, despite being given the typical treatments for those problems. The reason for unusual bowel movements in children with Asperger's Syndrome is not known.
