Be patient, it will take longer, but persistance and encouragement, he will be using the toilet.I got despondent, particularly the soiling bit, because he knew I woul clean him up, so I left him 30 mins dirty, then next day 1 hour , then he learn't after 2, then 3 hours how nasty it was.Toilet was the best thing he realised.

Alot of children on the spectrum have toiletting problems.

My own son was out of nappies by age 3. Now he is older he has explained to me that often he does not 'feel' the need for the toilet until the last minute. Also he has no idea if he wants a wee or poo and so can get caught off guard if standing up and then realises he needs to sit down quickly!

So I believe it is tied alot to sensory processing [as all internal sensations are from sensory information being proce...

And he went to sleep without any major problems or screaming bad days seems really bad but must always try and remember the good ones too!

That's even better!!

woo-hoo!!!

WELL DONE !!....congratulations Jack xx

why are you Click?

Jack was clicking... he likes to click his tongue LOTS. It can get a bit annoying at the end of the day after hearing it for a few hours hehe.

ahh i thought it was a reference to typing on the keyboard!

Oh and to add we have only been waiting for this appt for 3 and a half years..............

Been there and done that one. And of course it is your fault for the DNA even though you never got the letter!! (Said with heavy sarcasm) For us it was a meeting to talk about the new diagnosis and give as much information as possible the day before the doc stopped work due to cut backs in the dept. Fortunately in our case she was wonderful and knew how long we had waited and struggled and she phoned me at home (and just happened to catch me), told me we had missed the appt. and that...

i hope he does! He tells me to leave him alone or go away mummy a lot of the time. I havve to beg for hours for a hug! Just so different to my other boys who live hugs :/

well he just let me cuddle him, and he told me he loves me... so he does, but on his terms only!!! lol

See

Lol took me ages to make an account- the forum told me at one point it wouldnt make an account unless i entered my account name and password! how are you? I'm just being nosy and seeing is making new friends on forums is faster and safer than in real life with people who just can't click with the perspective of someone with autism

btw my name is NOT a mik-take of your profile name

Diagnosis for ASD that is, hes had other diagnostic tests and all have been negative.

Well, that may work in your favour - hope it goes well for you!

yes, i think it might work in our favour, meant i had less to explain to her!

I remember first Paediatricians appointment with our son. There was the Paediatrician and 2 others and myself, husband and son. We talked about things for a while. My son sat on the floor playing with some toys that were there. He didn't interact with anyone. Didn't come and bring me anything. Didn't seem aware of anyone else in the room. Appeared deaf when the paediatrician called his name. And when she placed her hand on his shoulder to gain his attention he got very dis...

Got 10ml calpol down him mixed in the juice but temp still 38 and a half. Ahhh kids like to worry there parents dont they!! lol

At least it's down a bit - well done!

Its 38 now so much better than almost 40

Hello

Hello :-)

And thanx for (hugs)

I know you've said before you're not sure when he's ill - is it possible he has an ear infection or something? Has he maybe caught what the little one had? Problem too with not sleeping can also be the overtiredness factor!! Fingers crossed you get to bed soon x

He seemed fine after the screaming but didnt go to sleep till 2 am! He always wants his dad next to him while he falls asleep, dad had been lying next to him in bad for about an hour and a half already and he wouldnt settle, dad had other things to do (non stop with 4 kids) so had to come down, thats when screaming started. So think it was to do with wanting his dad there with him, but he couldnt spend any more time up there last night x

I hope you don't see those people again Noskca. What a nasty experience. Have the children been upset about it since?

Jack hasnt, but my eldest has been :/

Jack hasnt, but my eldest has been :/

Yep. And?

My Finn is the same he peaked last night at 39.5 and is now sitting in low 39's - horrible them being ill especially at Christmas when this is the first Christmas he's had a clue what's going on.

Yea its not fair! Jack seems ok in himself, bit quieter than normal but ok. Going to keep an eye on him and keep him dosed up on calpol hope they are both feeling better soon!

And still waiting for appt with ADOS which was meant to be this month...

Early Learning Centre do a safe toy one

thanx mannify, ill look in to getting one for him

yeah the metal ones are dangerous - I cut myself on one as a child - must have had a similar fascination!

How is he doing now? So stressful when they're sick...as if you need anymore stress in your life right now! When i don't know what's wrong with my daughter i panic over the slightest thing!

Still got a high temp. It was 39 and a half again this morning. No school for him today. Calpol and nurofen given and temp down to 37

Get better soon Jack x
