[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 590925, member: 11847"] V has mild autism as well and at almost 6 still wets his bed... About a year ago I asked his Occupational Therapist (OT) on what to do about it, maybe wake him up around 11 (when I go to bed) so he can pee. Her reaction: " NO!!! his body is finally integrating his senses, doing so would disorganize everything". Sleeping through the night used to be a huge issue and she explained that it was simply more important than not wetting bed. I've decided to simply put pull ups on him every night. I don't like the extra expense... but bed wetting is just not a top priority issue at this point. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kiddos often have sensory issues and it can make it harder for them to control their bladder at night. I believe he will get there eventually, when his body is ready. And keep in mind, like others said: alot of typical 4 year olds wet their bed. Invest in good pull ups and give yourself a break. [/QUOTE]
