[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 496259, member: 3419"] JKF, we went through the same thing. It's VERY ADHD--they don't have time, plus, there are probably sensory issues, and negative responses, as in, they don't want to deal with-it because it's gross. (Never mind that it's gross to NOT wipe.) I tried several things ... pretty much all at once, because I was at the end of my rope, too. I bought Baby Wipes and showed him how to use them. I also told him that I would wipe him. (NOT! Knew the response to that one, lol!) But the idea was to let him know that I was going to be there. All. The. Time. And I was. It took several hrs out of several days, and was a lot like toilet training all over again. I had to keep my ears, eyes, and nostrils open. :) I'd run in and say, "Ready to have me wipe?" NOOOOO!~ "Okay, then I'll just stand and watch you." That didn't really work because he was embarrassed, which was what I expected, so I told him that I was going to stand around the corner, listen for the toilet paper roll noise, check his butt to make sure it was clean, check the toilet to make sure the tissue was used (ugh) and then he could flush. He got tired of that pretty darn fast!!! I did not yell. I was firm and consistent. I have to say it's one of my few successes. by the way, your son may have sensory issues and other things besides ADHD, which contribute to this, so I'd try, try, try to cut down on the yelling because he does not have good control over what he's doing. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
