hi

Am going to start potty training my 3 yr old DS, he isn't talking yet - just uses single words when he feels like saying them. We're not exactly sure what is wrong with him, we thought he might be ASD but when we saw the paed in June she doesn't think this is the case and has chosen to take a "wait and see" approach. I have been putting potty training off for ages as couldn't face the stress of it all and couldn't see how it would be a success considering the situation. Anyway I have now decided to just go for it as he is starting nursery mid September and would like him to be out of nappies by the time he starts.
We have started using picture cards (since going to speech therapy) so I thought we could use the card with the potty on.

Would really appreciate any advice/little tips for anyone in the same situation as us. Thanks!
