Has Anyone Successfully Toilet Trained A Teenager Or Adult?
A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

It is possible that my son's toileting woes are due to encopresis. I'm trying to get him regular in the hopes that I can help him complete his toilet training. Has anyone out there been able to do this with a teenager or adult?
