Our DD is 3 next week and is non verbal/possible ASD yet to be diagnosed. She’s very bright and learns things very fast. She normally takes our hands if she wants something.
Shes been showing signs of being ready for the last few months - taking her nappy off, fiddling with her nappy a lot, inspecting what’s inside it etc. Shes also very interested in the toilet - makes me and her dad go to the toilet and hands us the toilet roll/wants to flush.
We decided to give it a go yesterday. She did pretty well considering no speech ( I thought it would be so much worse) We had a total of 8 accidents (3 of them trickles) and she managed 3 pees and 1 poo in the toilet.
The problem is we were prompting her every time by asking if she needed to go and kept asking her to tell us when she needed. She did run to the bathroom a couple of times but as far as communicating whether she needed to go there was zero of it.
Do you think we should leave it for a little while until she starts talking or keep going? I’m worried about how she’ll do at nursery, they can’t constantly ask her if she needs to go.
Any advice appreciated!!
