i am the mother of a soon to be 5yr old autistic boy, can anyone please help me with any tips on pottytraining
Answers:
I know how you feel, my son is autistic and we had a very difficult time with potty training. I bought a treasure chest and put it on the back of the toilet. I filled it with little toys, mostly hot wheels because that's his favorite. Whenever he successfully used the potty, he got to pick a prize. We still had to help him with No. 2 until just recently (he's 7), so you just have to be very patient. The main thing is not to yell or scream or punish him because he will just get frustrated and upset. I don't know about your son, but my son has coordination issues so it was physically difficult for him to clean up afterward. Keep a little pack of kid's wipes next to the toilet--they're a little easier to work with than TP. Good Luck.
good luck with that. i have a cousin who is autistic and she didn't even show any interest in potty training till she was about 8. i dont know your frustrations personally as a mother but i've seen my aunt go through it.
best wishes
this might sound bad.
but try giving him his favorite thing while on the toilet and the toilet only. so he associates the two. that might be bad advice but it might work?
make it fun. make a homemade sail boat and put it in the toliet and the let him know that when he has to go go and try to sank the sail boat it worked for my boys and i had them trained before their second b-day all three of them.
