[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 436351, member: 1991"] I second the use of the diapers, at least when he is going out in public. If nothing else they will help teach him about social appropriateness. Autistics CAN learn this, but they don't learn it the same way other people do - by osmosis. You have to actively teach it, the way you would teach a new skill in Maths. Simply leaving it and expecting him to get the idea over time - it works for 'normal' kids, not autistics. Some autistics potty train early, because they get the idea fast and are VERY good at self-discipline. Others who don't see the point, won't bother until someone DOES give them a reason they value. Welcome. Marg [/QUOTE]
