My son will be 5 in march and is not potty trained. All kids are different what age were your kids potty trained at? Thanks all in advance for answering this question. I am very happy I found this site to connect with others.

My son was fully dry during the day at around 5. However, he is 8 now and just started to be dry during the night. We found that waking him at the same time each night to use the bathroom helped set his "internal clock". The daytime training was a bit tricky because it was hard for him to "feel" that he had to go. (I've heard adults with autism say the same thing). However, I do remember noticing that he would stim A LOT when he had to go so I started making him use it when I noticed it.

My neurotypical son was almost 4 years old. My mother in-law helped with that. He stayed at her house for two weeks. My youngest was 4 almost 5 years old. PECS helped a lot. His preschool teacher and paras used it at school and I followed up at home. It was during one of his after school ABA sessions he peed for the first time in the toilet.

I was just under two, I believe. I don't like the feeling of my clothes being damp, though, so it would make sense that I hated the feeling of a wet/dirty diaper!
