Potty training child with Aspergers
Hello everyone, I'm trying to potty train my almost 3 year old son. Things aren't going very well and I suspect it is because of his Aspergers. He struggles with effective communication and I think he is starting to get frustrated. Has anyone out there potty trained a child with this condition? How did it go? Any tips?
For some reason my son didn't have trouble with potty training - we was fully daytime trained at 3. He is on the spectrum (level 1).
That said it took some time. We started at 2 1/2 and a lot of it was just visual familiarization. Books, DVDs and yes Weird but just going to bathroom with us helped.
I understand about the speech. We got around it by having his seat on the toilet all the time and letting him just go by himself. Big issue with that was him walking out with his pants down but we worked on that after the potty training itself was done.
Not conventional but it worked.
HTHs!!
