ds used to have it every 2nd day too but we were getting "overflow" about every 10 days now he gets one every morning and he's been fine, we just do it as part of our wee morning routine. im most pleased as since we had the bathroom converted to a wetroom i can now fit his Seahorse chair over the toilet so i wont need to clean out the buckety bit anymore, dont think ds is overly keen on the odd splash hitting him right enough!

Sorry, ladies. I do appreciate it's easier when you're working and can call another staff member to support you Xmas Sad People with ASD find change hard at the best of times, and changing clothes can be a particular battleground because it's one where you just can't budge.

hermitmum, is there any fabric at all that your son will tolerate? I make clothes specifically for kids with SN, so if there is I could try and make you one from that with lots of soft enclosed seams so he can only feel the comfy stuff and isn't itched by zips, button holes, labels... I also charge the least I possibly can as it's a hobby not my living (I work with people with SN), so please do message me if you think I can help

Done!
Also stuck a pic of them on my profile on here! Grin

Got them, thanks Glittery. Will pop them on farcebook when I figure out how to get them out of hotmail in a respectable format...

Glad you're happy Xmas Smile

i have found that standing up is the only way i can change garrys pooy pad, hes 36 6ft 3inches and 16 stone so there is no way we could manage him lying down without a hoist.
