my son is 3years and 2months old, with suspected AS and OCD but being treated as ASD atm.
he doesn't talk and his walking isn't brilliant, he is still in nappies, still dependent of bottle, doesn't eat... and his understanding and concentraion is very very poor, he is at nursery atm but only 2afternoons a week and just started last week...
anyways i want to potty train him, i have had the potty in the living room for a while i had it in the toilet but he used to really freak out with it there, so i thought if i got him used to it and got him sitting on it then it would help.
anyways i have been managing to get him to sit on it for ages but he just refuses to pee in the potty, he has a melt down when he needs to pee, or just doesn't understand that he needs the toilet, he has always had a problem pooing he can't do and when he does (after 5-7days) he's in agony he has been on all types of medicine for this and even been hospitalised but nothing helps i am hoping the potty and presure from sitting down might.... also my son hates being dirty when he sitting on the potty he feels as if its unclean and has to clean it and clean it and then wash his hands and sometimes sits on the potty with a bottle of hand gel ready.... this is something that can not be control he honestly can't deal with being dirty....
anyways would love tips and advice on potty training a child with AS and OCD?
