So ladies I need some advice. My son has autism but I have to wait until he is 3 to know where he is on the spectrum. He is non verbal and doesn't understand when he is being spoken to (doesn't understand words) he also has problems with his hearing that are being assessed but lately he has been taking his pants and nappy off and crying anytime we put one on him. I think he may be ready for potty training but I'm worried as he doesn't understand alot and can't tell me in any way if he needs a toilet has anybody been in a similar situation and has any advice? I have researched it and it says just to put him on the potty until he does something and praise him when he does but just looking to see if there is any personal experience I can go off?

Have you heard of PECS - picture exchange communication system. Also do you have a speech and language therapist as they would be super helpful in understanding how to use PECS. There are some YouTube videos about showing how to use them.
I do I had his autism nurse out this morning and she was telling me about it and said to order some pictures to help him so I've ordered some off Amazon xxxx
Have you tried looking into signs ? Like there is a sign for toilet that he might find easier to learn than words. It could be something to look into. Xx
I have been teaching myself sign language and makaton to be able to help him communicate but he doesn't quite understand the concept of it. It was saying online to use pictures round the house and teach them to stand by a picture when they need to go but I'm not sure osian has that sort of patients 🙂 xx
@kirikatrina oh I work in a nursery and we had to show a little boy a picture when we were going out into the garden or else he would get really upset if we were just to start leaving the playroom. It could be an option
@beveridge.s I'm going to order some when I get his potty hopefully if he sees it enough he will get use to it. Thanks Hun xxx
has anyone experienced a child who doesn't want to use the potty? My son fully understands the process of using the potty and knows when he has to go but he just doesn't want to use the potty. He loves diapers/pullups 😐. I have tried getting him his favorite underwear, a potty with one of his favorite characters, I've tried just sitting him on it with a book as well as reading the potty book.
I even took a suggestion from our pediatrician to just put underwear on him without anything else so th...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Did or does anyone have a newborn (under a month old) who doesn't sleep at night? The second I put him in his crib he freaks out 😢
At What Age Should a Child Make Their Own Breakfast?
Make your own breakfast!
At what age do you think a child should be making their own breakfast? I have a 10 year old and I think he is perfectly capable of making himself breakfast. It doesn't take rocket science to put some waffles into the toaster, or microwave some pancakes. My husband insists that he needs to have breakfast made for him because if we left it up to him he wouldn't eat enough and it would take him forever.
circumcision at 2
My son has been grabbing his diaper lately and occasionally whimpering. The doctor said he has slight phymosis (sp) and it could fix itself or he could get circumcised now incase it doesn't. I chose to wait a year or so at least until hes potty trained. Does anyone have any experience with this correcting itself? Really would hate to have him undergo surgery this late.
Agree with the PECS you can also start simple by using photos of familiar things. Also makaton is great to start teaching young you can use with pecs and speach so that little man can communicate back a little too x
