[QUOTE="1905, post: 38417, member: 2668"] I work with 2 5 year old autistic boys who are not potty trained. Here is what we do. First put him on a schedule -every half hour take him in there, (do not speak at all other than to say ,"Good job" when he goes,or pulls upo his pants, or anything he needs to do).Go through his bathroom routine hand over hand. Let him do it. Let him just sit on the toilet. When he goes give him an immediate reward.(our guys like to watch the water when they flush-that's their reward). Silently guide them to the faucet, turn on, then off, get paper towel,etc.... but the hand over hand --slowly fade that out to just guiding him slightly.The talking gets in the way of the learning. Keep that to a minimum. If he cries in there, ignore it- soon he will get used to going in there, and doing everything. Be patient. I know it is heartbreaking when he cries.-He has to learn this.-Alyssa [/QUOTE]
