Potty training ugh!
They aren't ready until they're ready. This is true for those without autism, too. But at least neurologically typical toddlers can be shamed into conforming. Autism by definition has no shame, or⦠read more
Thoughts or recommendations please
Natural environment, at home primarily and parks if possible.. my son has made a lot progress with ABA therapy, in home.
Any one been there and done that? I am signed up for training on the 17th of this month. I would love to hear any good or bad experiences from the clinics and/or trainings they have available.
I heard someone say once, "Be more interesting than his distractions." That is not always easy, as a parent.
My son was very close to potty trained from age 6-8 but regressed after some medical issues and lost the skills. 2 years ago he would sit on the toilet with the lid closed. In our current apartment, he refuses to get near the toilet and definitely not sit on it. Has anyone had any luck potty training with an older child who has been in pull ups a long time?
All I know is that a 'Distraction' (one that preferably makes them laugh) is a great motivator.
So have a Tech Device or even a simple toy as a distraction while they are in there.
My 4 year old son is nonverbal, diagnosed with level 2 autism. I've just started an attempt at potty training, but with not much success. He will sit on the potty but very briefly. He shows no sign that he has to "go" and is not bothered at all by a full diaper. I've tried setting a timer, offering rewards and set up a little potty area with books but I'm not having much luck. Any tips or support would be so appreciated!
I hope you do ok.
My daughter didn't train until age 4. My son is 5 and refusing to train
