DS is 8 with autism, severe learning difficulties and other 'stuff'

. He had no control over his bladder, so recently the paediatrician prescribed him ditropan.

It really seemed to be working, he started having full wees instead of just the constant dribble he usually has. This lasted 2-3 weeks. He was getting through the day off only 1-2 accidents a day and I was over the moon.

Fast forward to last Tuesday, it all stopped, he is still on the medicine but has suddenly started the constant dribble again, no control, either he goes and sits on the toilet every 2 minutes, or he dribbles away in his pants Hmm

It's fucking up his confidence again.

I haven't been able to get hold of the paed, and now it's bank holiday.

I was hoping when he went to his dads this Saturday it would magically get better with a change of scenery. But no, I was kidding myself, his bladder isn't working properly again.

Should I put him back in nappies again till I get something sorted with his paed?

I'm heartbroken for him.

North west England. Things are pretty shitty up here despite the council claiming to be amazing for children with disabilities. It really isn't. Not even a little bit.

be very specific when asking for pads, as some places call nappies pads, for no reason other than to confuse things.
