Potty training can be very difficult for Autistic children. Gavin really struggled with it and Elliott did okay. The challenge is potty training Emmett. There is such a HUGE communication barrier that it makes the simplest of things extremely difficult.

That said there is a ray of hope for us as Emmett used the big boy potty a few times the other day. He has pee’d in the potty a few times now and seem to be okay with it. He did this completely of his own accord. This will be challenging as communication is difficult. Hopefully we can build on that momentum cause these diapers are killing us as quickly as we go through them.
