[QUOTE="--Eleanor--, post: 38363, member: 3620"] Four is not usually late for potty training a kid on the autism spectrum. We started trying when my son turned three, but he didn't have full success with all aspects of it until he was 5. In retrospect, I kind of wish we had waited until he was 4 to start. Anyway, what worked for us was visual cues and rewards. We had a chart in the bathroom, and stars were earned for every success. A certain number of stars would earn a reward. Also, a set of written reminders of all of the steps seemed to help. I think we kind of take for granted some things that Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) kids don't. For example, it was important to remind my son that the pants come down AFTER he is in the bathroom, etc. (For him, we used written lists, since he is hyperlexic. But the same type of thing could be done with a picture schedule for kids that don't read.) Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
