Again I say, why wouldn't the DAY CARE worker, you know that person who's taking care of the child, be made aware of a child's special needs? That would be a moronic move for the parents to not make the workers aware of the situation. So your "for all you know" statement makes no damn sense because she should know if that's the case, there should be no need to investigate if such is the issue. If the child doesn't have a disability then the OP has every right to be disgusted because 7 is too damn old to still be in diapers. They should be potty trained so wiping their asses shouldn't be a consequence of working at a day care.

Or the OP is aware, and didn't put it in the FML.

Hm I would have thought people would be told that there are kids with special needs before they are employed and not just find it out one day in a situation like this.

Some parents don't like to openly put out the fact that their child may be or is disabled, and some disabilities don't always show through until they start learning math and such while others show through with speech or whatnot. If the child is 7 however, and (s)he is disabled, than I'm sure the parents are required to let the daycare or school know if their child is still in diapers. I have to be honest though. I've never heard of a daycare that would take a 7 year old that is not potty trained without proof that the child was disabled. Most if not all would be told they can't attend if their child is not potty trained by at least 4 or 5 at the most right?

Really? His A.D.D causes that much of an issue? ADD is pretty much not being able to focus. I don't see ADD causing a potty issue.

Imagine every time you get a thought, or sensation, something rushes in to replace it. Your brain is moving so fast that you can't hold on to a thought long enough to produce actions. This is life with ADD. By the time the urge to pee/poop becomes strong enough to break past that, it's hard to hold it. Even as an adult with ADD, it's hard. You have to keep up your meds and go to the bathroom on a schedule.

ADD has a bad name to it because of all these people self-diagnosing themselves, but it is a legitimate medical condition. You never really know how important it is to keep focus until you meet someone who truly can't

I do have ADD myself, not self-diagnosed. Which is why I find this surprising. I have been officially diagnosed, and I know how hard it is to focus. I've lived it. But I never had a,problem with things I have to do. I always knew when I needed to use the bathroom, or felt hungry or tired.
