I have a 5 year old ASD son and he is toilet trained but my friends son is also 5 and has ASD (they sit together at SN school!!) he is not toilet trained his mom has followed all advice from the school sat him on the toilet for ages and he just wont do anything.
She can take his nappy off him and he will stay dry all day but holds everything in untill bedtime when she puts a nappy back on him and he completely saturates it.
The school now are telling her they have to do something other wise at 15 he will still be in nappies.
She is a very gentle mom and wont do anything to upset him , he is also very big for his age and a potty is to small for him.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if anyones got any suggestions as she is going MAD with it
