My ds is 11 years old. He has high functioning autism and a whole host of sensory issues. He has had night time uresis, and as he's gotten older, he's become really upset about it.
Each year, we hear it'll pass next year. It's frustrating for him. He wakes up in the middle of the night wet, changes his bed, and climbs back in and has to fall asleep all over again. He hates wearing any type of pull up, so he prefers getting up and changing his sheets.
It's been frustrating for me from the point of doing laundry and having to get up and helping him change his sheets almost every night. But the worst part is the way it makes him feel.
Soooooo, he's been dry 5 out of 7 days the last few weeks!! He's so proud of himself and he is so much happier when he wakes up in the morning. I gave him a big hug this morning and had to leave the room, because I was going to start crying because he was just so happy with himself.
I had to come and share here, because there are not a whole lot of places where people will be impressed and happy about an 11 year old not peeing in his bed!
