What do you do if your boy with autism is too big to go into the ladies with you, yet you need to use the toilet when in public? Recently I started asking Calder to sit on the floor and drink from his water bottle while waiting for Mommy. Seating is a feeble attempt at anchoring while drinking is to occupy him so he doesn't get distracted and run off. So far so good. Meanwhile I pray that no one would approach him to tell him he cannot sit there. Might be a good idea to install seats near public toilets.
