Hi all,
My little boy, almost 5, is awaiting his diagnostic assessment for ASD but has been identified as having "autistic development". We are also awaiting occupational therapy which should have started before he began Reception but that was now a few weeks ago.
Essentially, he wets himself all the time, occasionally we'll get a dry day but lately it seems to be getting worse. Today he wet his pants five times, three at school and two at home. We've tried everything, bribery, charts, reminding him constantly, but when he's engaged in his thing - at the moment, planets - it's as if he's completely transfixed and nothing else matters, not even basic bodily functions and I'm convinced he knows he's going but he doesn't care, he's too engrossed.
I am tearing my hair out. I am putting the washing machine on every day, sometimes more. Nobody can afford to do that at the moment.
Absolutely despairing here so any advice gratefully received.
Thank you xx
