Argh silly silly silly me

mumof4boys772

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?

  • The sad thing is i dont know what it is, ive always assumed it was the hand dryer as he spent years being afraid of the hoover, its very hard to try and get a conversation out of him when hes scared about something.  Like the other day he screamed all the way to school because hed forgotten his reading book, breakfast club spoke to his teacher,when i asked what teacher says,all i get is forgotten.  Some things he has a very short memory span,like if we go supermarket and he asks for something,by the time we get home its totally forgotten about the thing we have bought, however on long term things his memeory is absolutely amazing!!!!! Like i lost a party invitation around three months ago, i had forgotten what date and time, he told me exactly what it wad and hed only looked at it once 3 months ago.  see i find this amazing,but at the same time hard to get my head around lol
