My daughter is a 53 year old with Down Syndrome. Recently she has been having bowel movements in bed which appear to be smeared. Also, she is messing her underwear and trying to hide them in the dresser drawer which contains clothing of hers and her 52 year old Down Syndrome sister. These incidents occur only when she is at home in her condo with care givers. It never occurs when she is visiting her father and me or any other relatives. Can you offer any advice?
