ds1 ASD aged 9, has just done his first wee on the loo

[cansu]

Perhaps a bit too much info for some but am really excited. Ds1 has so many problems and is really severely autistic so I actually thought he would never get to this stage. We are far from being toilet trained but it is a massive step forward for someone who wouldn't even sit on the toilet for months.

oh that is so good, I bet you did a little dance.
well done him:o

Well done him indeed! And well done you for your perseverance, hope trumpets played in recognition of both your achievements!

Great News ! There are many stages I thought ds would never get to ! One massive step for mankind !

Oh that is brilliant! Hoping it's a sign of more to come! :o

We celebrated DS2's first wee on the loo, the other day, but he's half your DS's age.

Wow, that must feel so special well done him!

Oh wow that is wonderful! You must be soo excited
It's one of those things you hope they will tackle but also daren't get too hopeful of isn't it? My DS still isn't full toilet trained either.

Hope it's the start of continuing progress for him

Well done DS1!!

Brilliant news! < does a little victory dance>

Fantastic! Well done him!

Brilliant news!
My DS is NT but had real issues with toilet training - and when he (very late) finally started using other people's loos I was telling everybody! They never seemed to appreciate my excitement!
It is a huge achievement for you both!

That is so exciting. Excellent news! Wel done him

That's really great news. I hope you celebrated with him.

Thanks everyone. I knew that you would all appreciate it was a big deal! Yes, we did have a glass or three of wine to celebrate. I think ds1 was rather confused by my telling him how great he is, he was giggling away to himself though.

Am so happy for the both of you.

ah well done to your ds- a lovely proud mummy moment and i hope you enjoyed your well deserved wine
