[quote=Anonymous]Well it sounds like the specialists are telling you what you already know. You need to find someone who can help you develop a plan. I don't have a specific recommendation but a friend of mine whose child refused to use the toilet, the therapist they worked with figured out that it was the noise that bothered her. Eventually she successfully could use any toilet while wearing headphones. They don't live locally but I'm sure you could find a local therapist. At this point building up comfortability with the toilet. Standing in the bathroom for 30 seconds. Building up to sitting on the toilet clothes on, etc. maybe pooping in his pull up in the bathroom eventually on the toilet. Headphones might help if he doesn't like the sound of poop falling in. Also he might be constipated and it just hurts more to sit. A squatty potty might help. Also plenty of water and fiber in the diet.[/quote]
