[QUOTE="FindingNemo, post: 220891, member: 13021"] Thank you for your replies. He has been offered the pump, but really doesn't like the idea of it and he has reasonable awareness of what it involves as I was on it for a few years myself. But he feels that as most of his activities involve him flying mid-air and crashing about or involve water that it might be too restricting. If given access to a pool he would actually stay in it all day long and water fights and jumping in and out of lakes, streams and fountains etc are a big part of his life.(no matter the weather or time of year) From a control point of view I would love him to have the pump but also feel it is important for him to have a degree of autonomy about his care, something which I lacked as a child and contributed in part to my rebellion and non-compliance.
