[quote=Anonymous]Op here. I have to say I'm kind of shocked by the tone of some of these posts. Very not the special needs site.

As I wrote in my original post, DS is totally on board with wearing the pull-up. We got the Goodnights Trufit, where they are underwear with an insert inside. We are going to test them a few nights to make sure they work. DS is very good about peeing twice before he goes to bed, but it's the period while he is sleeping that's the issue. We have tried setting an alarm - even two alarms - for him, but he is a really heavy sleeper and sleeps through both the alarms and the overnight peeing. DS is pretty meticulous about his personal care and also a good self advocate so I am sure he will get the help of counselors if the pull-ups do leak. I'm not worried about him being ostracized- he also has really internalized (thank God) that this isn't his fault and nothing to be ashamed of, so I think he could get counselors to help him address things if anyone starts to make fun of him. We did talk about how he would carry the inserts to the bathroom and where he would dispose of them - thanks to the pp who suggested the ziplocks. I'll pack a box of them for him. [/quote]
