Hi my name is Michelle I have 5 children my youngest is 3 we just found out that she’s got Autism we did have a feeling she was autistic I did get information and websites to go on am just leaning and how to help my daughter am just wondering if anyone one little ones managed to potty trained she’s just not interested potty training I have tried a lot of different ways to try
Hi Michelle
congrats on the diagnosis it’s great you have got
my little one has just turned 4 and we are waiting
I tried a few times with potty training we finally got there at 3.5 years
he still wears pull up at night
first if you try for like a week and she is not peeing in the potty or gets distressed and not interested I would leave it and try again a few months later
before I started I read books with my son
then we talked about it
Il be honest he was not interested at all the first 3 tikes I tried and left it after a week
I got a potty that looked like a toilet . We tried a little potty he didn’t like that or the big toilet even with a seat. Get her comfortable
I didn’t get him to use straight away either
left it a week for him to get use it look at it sit in it etc
tell him what’s it was for
I also found visual aids very helpful. I had a sign that said toilet rules
so picture with steps with what you do when you use the potty
it takes a lot of time and patience. It took months before he really got the hang of it but he did get there
Don’t put pressure and have clothes that are easy to pull down
if she not interested yet however I would just wait a little longer
I know there is pressure especially if she goes nursery but I found with my son if I ever tried to push him he just get upset and distressed and with his memory I didn’t want potty training be something he hated
good luck ! Hope it helps
