How I Potty Trained My Son with Autism

Autism and potty training can often be difficult and cause many issues for families. At what age should a child with autism be toilet trained? My son took a very long time to be potty trained and even regressed at some point. In this video, I share all my potty training tips and how we overcame some of the problems associated with autism and learning new concepts.

    Our son is non verbal and he is now 13, we've been trying since he was 4, it's only getting worse, he tears off his diapers and pees on everything, the floor, our furniture, he's ruined so much furniture and even floor boards. He'll pee on himself and even us sometimes, we're just at our very wits end. I've tried so so so many things, I just wish something would work. Sorry this is a vent and I wonder if I'm alone or maybe I can let someone else know they're not

I was told he would never be able to be trained. I'm here now because I just finished showering him and have to now go clean the carpet...I want hope to train him.

I'll take him to the bathroom before school he'll sit but wont use until the second I pull up his pull up then he will let lose. Wondering if you have any tips on that. For me its very discouraging cause it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong but I know he wont go until he's ready,. I loved your video, it changed my mind with the potty training all together so I think you for making this video and going through the steps.

I'm so encouraged with your video and it gave me very helpful ideas on how I can help my granddaughter as her primary care giver. I'm so relieved from the pressure of the immediate need to potty train her because we were told that some schools in our area will only accept kids that are potty trained. We'll just have to find schools that will accept her. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences. More blessings to you and your family 💕❤️

    Between my sons' issues and mine, attempts at potty training have been going on for like two or three years. He has shown signs of readiness for a long time, but he just doesn't want to be consistent (either), so it's a struggle. His preschool and I jusr both try to sit him on the potty at least a couple of times a day...and just as we start getting it I'll get busy again with other kids, husband, whatever, and forget. And so will he. Neurodivergent issues... 😅 Thanks, we'll keep on plugging.

    I have a level 2 verbal autistic son who is 10 years old and he will pee in the potty but won't poop in the potty. He screams and cries if we make him sit for 2 min. He says I'm mean. I feel he is ready he just doesn't want change. Because before I took away pull ups he would come to me and say, "mom I pooped come change me" I felt if he can poop himself and tell me to change him, he should be ready. I think I need to take him to the toilet every hour but that is exhausting with no help.

    It's normal to have many accidents when starting out potty training. You're doing great waiting until he is ready. Keep up the good work eventually he will connect the dots and start going on the toilet. The key is to make sure it is a positive experience for them and don't put too much pressure. I know it's not easy. Good luck :)
