Starting school in nappies/constant accidents

[Meowmeow20202]

After reading a thread about similar its got me worried
Ds 5 has asd and isn't potty trained. He wears nappies. When we have tried its was only weeks of peeing and pooing into his clothing. His nursery found this very difficult to cope with so we decided to put him back in nappies. Hes just not ready. My 18 month old is showing signs of being ready that he doesn't have. How bad will it be ? Will the other children laugh at him? Will the teachers wish he wasn't there? :(

It's well and good saying the school needs to etc and the equality act etc and I agree but that doesn't stop the comments and the attitudes of some staff.
And yes you can complain and yes you can stick to the law and what they HAVE to do but bloody hell it's exhausting.

Exhausting having to educate professionals who really should know and not see your child as a problem.

How did they found out that he’s in nappies ?

I work in reception at school and am 1:1 for a little boy who has autism, he came in nappies and I change him no problems. The other children in the class have a little look, but no more so at the toileting than when he gets upset in class by something. We’ve actually just started to introduce sitting on the toilet every time I do nappy changes, and he’s still in pull up nappies. Everything I do I talk with Mum first and go by what she wants us to do. Don’t worry I’m sure it will be fine, he will get it when he’s ready

Do you mean the other children in the class have a look when he’s being changed ? As my son will be starting school in nappies just wondering how likely the kids will find out

@keiley7899 I got ds some vests from M&S it’s there additional needs range, like those baby vests with the poppers only for older children. The range is great!

I used to put ds nappy on put one of those vests on him then his school uniform then whenever he bent down / rolled around on the floor none of the other children could see his nappy at all.
