    I'm not sure but I was told kids on the spectrum take ages to TT fully, especially overnight. With DD1, she still has mistakes throughout the day and can not even try to go overnight.

    my ds1 is almost 14 and he still wets the bed...(doesnt produce the hormone to stop his body from reducing the amount of urine produce while he sleeps). We have tried tofranil and the pad and bell as well as u/s to see if there was a medical reason behind why he was still wetting. Almost as a last resort we went and saw a paediatrician who suggested some night time exercises for our son to do as well as some for when he wakes up. So far this seems to be working but it has only been a fortnight but the signs do seem promising.

    My dh thought much the same... that it was ds1's fault but he read an article in a Defence force newspaper that said that bedwetting is more common than most people realise and can be passed down from one or both parents. It can be frustrating but you just need to be patient... Get some info off the internet and give it to your dh so he can understand a little more about it...

    Lyta was very much like me. It only ever happened once and we both hated it so much we never let it happen again...

    DH stopped at 13
    Angie at 10
    CJ at 8
    Sam still wets the bed.
    One of my sisters did until she was 12.

    I hate it when people carry on like a pork chop because "they never did it" or "they did it easy".. Well bully for you! How often do we need reminding that everyone is unique?
