[QUOTE="mommabear34, post: 706028, member: 21243"] Thanks... it's been really hard with my 5 year old... he was diagnosed about two years ago but honestly he behaves like a completely different child since then. At that time he was not yet potty trained and he barely spoke... we were extremely concerned... of course after we received his official diagnosis we were a little heartbroken but it runs in his dads side of the family so it's not a completely new thing for us. And with early intervention and a lot of hard work my son has made some drastic improvements... the majority of people don't even think he is autistic which is kind of nice in some ways but he does have some sensory issues and anger issues so we still have some things to work on. But I really must say in the last two years alone my son has done a lot of hard work and has come a really long way.... and I couldn't be prouder of him for it. The night time diaper thing... he told me that he was embarrassed about using them and asked for help to stop actually... it's just now that I'm having him actually do the work (like get up and walk to the toilet) in the moment he's tired and doesn't want too. Then after he's fully awake he feels bad again that he used the pad or diaper or whatever. He knows that his friend is likely to sleep over again... I think he wants to be able to prove that he is a "big boy" too in this way.. (his friend is 7 years old, so two years older than him) but thank you for your response and I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. [/QUOTE]
