I do have an article that I read. However, it has not been totally successful for me thus far (I just found them about 2 weeks ago) Here are the link though. http://autism.about.com/od/childrenandautism/ss...

Play. I had the staffed animals going on the potty. I also got two potty books with stories that I was constantly reading.

Potty training is at best a very hard hill to climb, we tried everything with our son. Rewards, toilet sitting every hour for 15 minutes and about everything that has ever been written on how to make this happen. Consistency and hard work is about the only advice I can offer I say this from our over 12 months of training experience. With us it honestly was like one day he was on the toilet without prompting however he still clung to the idea of pull-ups and asked daily about one. Mistakes happened weekly and another 12 months passed before there was a full acceptance to the bathroom. Now at 14 soon to be 15 if we are in the store if he sees them he will say pull-ups and makes his goofy laugh and say's pull-ups are for babies... Keep the faith.... :)
