Toilet issues help!

Hi my ten year old son is in the process of an Aspergers diagnosis. He won't use the toilets at school despite the SENCO giving him a pass to a private toilet, a photo on reception so he isn't questioned and today even escorting him there! Any one else had same issues and any advice gratefully received

  • hi Mush, has your son sd anything about why he won't use the private toilet?  Perhaps there's something about it such as a hot air hand drier (noise) which distresses him, or something else?  My son when small  + still to an extent now, prefers what I call "the original".  This is when he remembers his 1st experience of something, whatever it may be + doesn't like it to change.....the 1st being the best if he liked something.   I don't know from your post why he's not using the same toilets as other children, but presume there's a reason why he's being allowed to use the private one.  Perhaps if you cd give us some further detail we cd help a bit more?
