Hi,
My DS (nearly 5) has AS and co-ord difficulties (middle rate DLA). He is pretty flakey using toilets, but it's not normally a problem - we live and mainly do things in the countryside, and can wee behind a tree when needed. However, we occasionally visit London, which is quite an expedition (I have younger children too). The biggest problem last time was using toilets - waiting / queues, smell, urgency. A couple of violent tantrums and changes of clothes.
I noticed last time a number of locked disabled toilets - esp at the train station. I was wondering whether we would be entitled to use these. Would we be entitled, and how do we get access?
I do feel as if we have so much fewer challenges than most of you - I know we are very lucky to be able to take the children to London at all - but OTOH if it would be acceptable to use these facilties, it might make the trip easier.
