Argh silly silly silly me

I need help om combatting this please, we are still awaiting diagnoses for my son, (hfa) if he gets it,however we have always always had a problem with toilets,its very very rare he will use one outside,hes 7 now,anyway ne day i managed to get him into a disabled toilet and said i had to lock the door as i wanted a wee too,i realised very quickly he was not happy with this and havent done it since.

However on the odd occasion that he will use a disabled toilet, he will not shut the door, i have to hold it open,i had to do it at the doctors the other day,stading there holding the door open whilst he had a wee, i know he will use this one as its a one man toilet,so nobody else can get in it to turn the hand dryer on!

He went into the school toilets the other day and sat with the door open and the kids came in and took the mick out of him.

Anyway should i continue holding the door open? i have tried explaning several times.

How would you deal with this please?

    He has to learn sooner or later doesn't he? Can you persuade him that he is safer if he locks the door? If he carries on like that at school then he will get bullied. You could tell him that it is OK for little children who need help to wipe their bottoms but it is not OK for older children. He has to know that it is not acceptable or safe to show anyone his privates.
