For many years, we were just thankful that Alex would use the toilet, but now we see the need for family restrooms, not just for autism but for many issues. Hopefully, more public places will offer family restrooms so that this is no longer a concern during outings.<br />Take care,<br />PamPam Byrnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11693728509115670248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937833385707548980.post-58234905246826835552014-03-23T10:10:16.570-05:002014-03-23T10:10:16.570-05:00What a timely topic!

Unfortunately my son has an OCD about going into the restroom everytime we enter a new store. We are working on eliminating this particular ritual but in the interim I have a list of all of the stores with family or single stall restrooms. Target, Trader Joes and Petsmart are some of the retailers in our town that we visit when we have a "bathroom emergency". It's refreshing to know I'm not the only one with this issue!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
