4 yo son with autism still pooing pants 8 months after starting toilet training should I put him back in nappies?

[DB16111991]

We started toilet training at Christmas time my son got going for a wee after a week he does need prompting to go for a wee sometimes and has the odd accident but generally really good he just leaves it until the last minute/ may not feel it until then.

Poo another story at first I thought he doesn’t know he’s doing it but he takes himself off and tries to withhold so he must know he is. If you catch him he will do it on the toilet but it’s like he just stops pushing and because of this he can do lots of little poos and have accidents. I’ve taken him to GP about constipation he doesn’t think it’s that just withholding. He’s just started school and hasd accidents he has a 1:1 who made it sound like he should wear nappy pants and I’m kind of so fed up of cleaning dirty pants I feel like it too but don’t want to undo his wee progress what should I do? Sometimes we have the odd breakthrough with him going to toilet for a poo but it’s like do once every few months.
