Below is a description of the item:

"The patented Johnny Light, the soft green night-light, activated by a gravity switch when the commode seat is raised, offers improvements in health, safety, hygiene, household harmony and gender respect. It resolves the "battle of the sexes in the bathroom" and ends the seat-up vs. seat-down controversy. The device, a somewhat popular Yule-time "stocking stuffer" should win hearts on Valentine's Day. Our customer testimonials (see website) say it even speeds potty training habits for toddler boys!

Ok. What do I think? I think this is a neat idea. If you are having problems with potty training your ASD child, and have run out of ideas, try this. It will capture any child's attention. Sometimes parents have to be creative and use unconventional items to teach our children. I am trying it with my son. He likes it, but doesn't want it there. It isn't "right." This would have been great if we had it when he first started using the potty.

I thought this was worth sharing. I had not heard of it before, and like to share my new findings with others. If you can't use it with your child, you can use it for your husband. Install this in your bathroom, and you will always know when the seat is up or down.
