Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the mild autism itself is not associated with urinary frequency. It is most likely a side effect of the trial drug given for the control of inflammation and indirectly assessing the effect over autism disorder.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
