Potty training an autistic child ( 10 years old)

Posted by spriggy on September 18, 2005, at 17:30:34

I really had believed that by now, my oldest son would be out of diapers.
I worked on it through the summer but he just doesn't seem to "get it" still.
I would take him to the potty every hour and occasionally he would go (pee) but it was only a "coincidence."
The only progress I see at this point is that after he has a BM, he comes and tells me, " I poo pood" LOL. At least it's bothering him, I suppose.
Does anyone know of any good resources on potty training a disabled child?
Developmentally, he's more like a 2/3 year old than a 10 year old- but he's almost as tall as I am and physically, this is becoming more and more challenging.
Thanks.
