Toilet issues help!

Mush

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 Crystal

    to be fair my son has just started a new school and I can't fault their support.  They have tried pretty much everything.  He will now go when absolutely desperate in a separate building which is designed for autistic children.  It's a bit of a trek but is helping a little.  We now struggle in most public toilets, we can sometimes use the disabled ones but this isn't always practical. My son has a hearing impairment too so my guess is it's both noise and privacy related and like phobias get worse the more they are discussed And highlighted.  Thanks so much for your thoughts it helps so much to have other opinions and speak to people with stimulate issues. :-)
