he is more than happy to use the toilet for wee, but to try and get him to use the toilet for no. 2's is impossible.
Children with special needs often take longer to attain bladder and bowel control, with many parents sighting toileting issues as one of the biggest challenges. Some children withhold stools due to a fear of the toilet while others experience difficulties with poo as a result of constipation. Ideally you should speak with your pediatrician about how best to support your son during this time. I would recommend that you continue using absorbent pants both during the day and at night until he achieves bowel control, especially if he is willing to wear them.
