I know there have been LOADS of threads on this, but I need to offload and ask some questions!
Just finished week 1 potty/toilet training with Ds2 (5.9, ASD). We started by taking him to the toilet every 30 minutes but soon realised that he generally stays dry for quite long periods, so changed it to every hour. No success, so brought in a potty and tried catching the wee. Slightly more success, in that we managed to catch and reward a few times and he did a couple of wees on the potty when I realised he was about to go and made him sit down.
In the last two days though we've had no further successes at all. He is often quite resistant to sitting on the loo or potty and will only stay there for a few seconds. He'll then run into another room and wee on the floor.
We've tried no pants, pants and trainer pants. When wearing no pants he hangs on for absolutely ages - from 8am to 5pm on one day!
Any tips or advice from those who've been there?
I realise it's early days in that it's only been a week, but feel we've left it quite late, age-wise (although we have tried before).
