I finally had to take him out of the pull-ups and let him go in his pants. He had become desensitized to the feeling of being wet and poopy. He was night trained before he would stay dry during the day. One day when he was around 6 and didn't have fear of the toilet anymore we put him on the potty every 15 minutes and when he peed in the toilet we made a big deal out of it. After that he had a few accidents here and there. Praise right after he peed really motivated him. He was finally potty trained for pee and poo at 7. I think you need to completely forget about what is the normal age for a child to be potty trained by when they have mental and/or behavior challenges and just watch for signs that they are ready and be patient. Very patient : ) My daughter is 7 and potty trained in the normal age range but needs pull ups at night because she is such a deep sleeper.Queenbuv3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10767805292831696201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890252727529257852.post-62376283549850371772009-04-14T13:42:00.000-07:002009-04-14T13:42:00.000-07:00It took both my boys (ages 7 and 6 both ASD) about...It took both my boys (ages 7 and 6 both ASD) about 2 years of potty training to go #2 in potty. I got a book "Everyone Poops" by Taro Gomi, at the suggestion of their preschool teacher, she told us that in her 15 yrs of teaching special ed preschoolers the ASD kids are the hardest. Some have issues with "getting rid" of their stuff (including poop). The book is a staple in the preschool classrooms, even the NT kids like it, my 3 yr old like to read it while trying to go in the potty. Hang in there!

I asked her pediatrician about it and he said that toilet training can be VERY challenging for many, many kids and the whole concept of poop is scary and difficult for a lot of kids to process. You guys sound like you are doing all the right things. As gross as it all seems, it will be worth it in the end.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956355582644290894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890252727529257852.post-55719188473514804482009-04-10T07:49:00.000-07:002009-04-10T07:49:00.000-07:00Where do you get your activity strip pictures?Where do you get your activity strip pictures?Strandedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16819973077683697310noreply@blogger.com
