Hi,
There are many reasons anxiety is one of cause of constipation in Angelman syndrome, you have to also make bathroom routine, yes laxative can be given in severity in this syndrome. Give proper diet (fruits, veggies, fiber containing food etc., are helpful). Few medicines used in this syndrome also causes this.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
