Can Autism cause bedwetting? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello. I am a 17 year old boy. I have been a bedwetter as far as I remember. As a child (a kid under 10), it really didn't bother me, but now I am searching for a solution to this and don't know where to even find information about this.

Edit: Thanks for the answers. Might also be testicular torsion + operation or my "healthy" lifestyle.

When I was little I had issues with bedwetting. From what I learned for me is it always happens during rem sleep. In my case I am plenty aware during this time to wake myself up though it took me a few times to get it right. Now I have a issue where I have to use the bathroom very shortly before falling asleep including any random times I wake up. This really does a number on my sleep sadly.

Perhaps it's a stupid suggestion, but why not go before sleeping?

I do. I just drink a lot of water and can take a long time to fall alseep

Why drink water before bed then? I don't get it.
