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?

  • My nt son had difficulties with the scool toilets, when he started. He wet himself everyday, or refused to drink, resulting in an infection. This was down to teasing. I actually bribed him with collecting stickers, to get him to come home dry in his own trousers.

    It also helped that his teacher let him go to the toilet when he wanted, during class, because it meant she didn't have to clean him up.  If your son's teacher is sympathetic, she may let him go before the other children, on his own, until the issue is resolved. It may be worth asking.
