Yes. I use the Huggies over nites. She leaks through.

Store bought are too big.

How do you get RX for diapers? Attends?

Children can't totally control their need to go until puberty I know it sounds far out but it's not really. I remember a kid in 4th grade had an accident in class kid terrorized him for it. I recall talking to my doctor about it and that's when she said kids can't control it till puberty. Only downside they can't control their minds in puberty.

My daughter receives ssi for her son and his state Medicaid bought his diapers until age 5 when a very brave teacher of his ask if she could try and potty train him. Go for it. It worked she somehow did it and no more diapers. Not sure how but she did it. But you can get ssi for your autistic child. It’s a disability.

Well, my son is non-verbal and he finally grew out of Baby Diapers. He wearS 24/7 Crinklz Xtra Small Diapers. He mainly wears Crinklz Diapers all the time. I some times will put a NorthShore Supreme Diapers on him. The NorthShore Supreme Diapers has a Wetness Indicator on them. I just prefer The NorthShore Supreme Diapers for him.

Yes. I use the overnights.
She leaks through sometimes.

I bought small women's depends type and put on, they
Were a little big.

So I decided to put pull up over and then some
Underwear made to put a diaper in.

No leaks so far.

Thx!

I would like to know how to get them paid for.
We don't qualify for help due to our income.
People say I should file for social security or something
For her. But I don't understand it.
