How can I help my cousin?

I have a cousin who wasnt pottytrained til 17 and didnt talk til 4. I think we have a good relationship but I cant be sure because he doesnt talk that often. He also needs things to be explained a few times. He used to have seizures which was scary. He has told me he feels stupid though. He doesnt like that he cant handwrite and is self concious of his bedwetting. I want him to feel good about himself. What can I do?

    He just wants to feel normal. So you make him feel normal, do all the stuff and talk about all the things as you would with anyone else. Do offer help, ask if he wants some help with writing, maybe do some finger painting together. As for bed wetting, i'm not sure if this worka for everyone but when me and my siblings were potty trained my nan would wake us up multiple times a night and take us to pee. And you then just kind of learn to wake up when you feel the urge to pee. Im sorry if this doesnt help as im not aware of background/medical issues that might affect him.
