[QUOTE="kim75062, post: 705678, member: 20727"] Welcome! how old is your son? mine is 6 (could be autistic but is diagnosis ADHD, anxiety and sensory processing disorder (SPD) so far) and still wears good nights to bed. Some times he wakes up dry for an entire week, some weeks hes wet every night. There's really no rhyme or reason as to why with him, medications may be part of the problem. He HATES waking up wet if hes not wearing a goodnight. It will set him off for a horrible day for him and anyone around him. My middle child was a chronic bed wetter until the age of 10. She insisted that she couldn't feel when she had to go at night, and even with waking her up at night and her going to the bathroom she still wet the bed at least 5 nights a week. She was diagnosis ADHD as well. She refused to wear a "baby diaper". She had a plastic mattress cover and She was responsible for changing her sheets and washing them everyday. We never made a big deal out of it and pretty much accepted it as part of everyday life. After I took her to the urologist at 10 to make sure there was nothing wrong physically with her, the bed wetting magically stopped. I think she just needed to hear from someone else that there was no reason for it? I really have no idea but I am glad that's all it took! With your son you may want to take him to a urologist just to be sure, boys are way more prone to physical issues then girls that can cause this. Also some medications can to, so I would look them up and discuss with his doctor if hes on any. I know it may not seem like it now but eventually it will resolve itself most of the times. As for my son, we have way bigger issues to worry about then night time bed wetting :) [/QUOTE]
