My son will not use the toilet in school!!!!!

mumof4boys772

Ok it sauys education matters so i thought id post in here as its  schol issue really, my son will probably use the toilet in school around once in every 6 months, surely this cannot be good for him? and why? i mean the dryers are quieter in schools so surely it cant be that? but he wont go, im just worried about what hes doing because hes not having a pee.

  • If you're being bullied toilets are the worst possible places to get picked on - when you are at a disadvantage and may not be able to walk away. As one who was constantly bullied for being odd, from primary through to secondary, the risks still haunt me.

    Also whether related to bullying or other factors, a lot of people on the spectrum find it difficult to relax in a toilet, sufficiently to perform that is. The smell, claustrophobic feelings, other people around all create tension which prevents bodily function.

    I had this difficulty acutely until my forties, and it took ages to get over it. It is still a problem if I need to queue or there are lots of people around. As a teenager I'd hang on simply because there was no way I could use school facilities.Or I'd try to find one out of the way not often used.

    Those driers that scream - dysons and such like - I'm just getting started and they switch off the preparedness again. It is a really big nightmare if I'm using motorway service stations, as often the cubicles are full.
