[QUOTE="mommabear34, post: 705806, member: 21243"] Thank you all so much for all of your responses... it's all very helpful... my son is five years old. He is verbal and has been diagnosed with autism and ADHD. He does have full control of his bladder. He wakes up every time he feels the need to use the bathroom. He just doesn't want to get up out of bed to go to the toilet. He is angry that I took his pull ups away. I took them away once I realized last week for sure that he had full control of his bladder. And he does. Toiletting has been an issue from the get go... he just would rather use a pull up than stop what he is doing to use the bathroom. He told me that he doesn't care about it. I don't make him clean up any messes but since I've realized for sure that he's doing this on purpose I've told him that he will not be able to use his "big boy" stuff anymore until he starts peeing in the toilet at night like a big boy. Big boy stuff meaning remote control cars, stereo, cds, Netflix, computer ect unless it's something we require him to watch. He says that he doesn't care about it and it's not important to him. Last night after he woke up (because he needed to pee) after an half an hour of a temper tantrum and me sitting him on the toilet and pouring luke warm water over his privates he finally went. Trust me, he has control, he just doesn't want to get out of bed at night to use the toilet. He flat out told me so even. He's extremely willful and extremely intelligent. So right now I'm just trying to make it as uncomfortable as possible when he pees in his pants to try and encourage him to go in the toilet. And he does have a small seat, we've tried the little seats, potties, everything.Diapers seem to reinforce this behaviour so I've taken them away and use the rubber underwear with the padding inside.. goodnights. I don't get angry with him. I'm just trying to get him out of this habit. [/QUOTE]
