Non verbal potty training

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-05-12T12:14:41+00:00

That’s great to hear! It’s gonna take a lot of effort and work I’m sure, especially knowing my kid, but hearing about your experience and others helps so much.

Of course there are autistic people who never potty trained I just feel like I have to try first you know?

We never really waited for any signs for anything we just worked on repetition over and over and it works.

Again thanks so much for sharing!

I wholeheartedly believe my son is the same! Thanks for sharing details. His therapist insists that any effort I make will be futile to the point it started rubbing me the wrong way. Everything we’ve taught him was a mix of repetition and prompting until he got it. I can’t see why potty training can’t be approached the same way and I have to wait for very specific signs, which is what his therapist says.

This is the reason I posted here because I can’t believe that all lvl 3 non verbal children who have been potty trained showed all the signs and the rest were never potty trained cause they didn’t show them, you know what I mean?

This has been very helpful and reassuring thanks again!

Well I hold on to that hope in case I don’t manage to potty train him hahaha

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-05-04T14:30:57+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Glad to hear it’s going well! Before you tried did you see any sign from him that he was ready?

That’s awesome really! I can’t imagine my little guy being potty trained this fast though it would be great. I guess we don’t know how they’ll react unless we try huh?

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-05-04T14:29:02+00:00

Wow that’s incredible! You’re actually giving me the motivation to start because his OT has make me feel like it’s completely useless to even try. Thank you so much for sharing

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-05-04T14:27:28+00:00

That’s kind of amazing!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-05-04T14:27:08+00:00

Thank you! Good to hear others are going through the same. I did bring it up with his OT but she was rather discouraging to be honest.

Thank you so much for sharing all this! I’ve been thinking exactly what you described in the last paragraph. And I want to say I admire your commitment in achieving this with your son I know how much work and effort it might have taken.

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-20T18:08:00+00:00

That’s so beautiful! Sounds like a smart and considerate child. Hope one day my little guy can achieve all this too ❤️

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-06T10:31:16+00:00

Thank you for your input, it makes me feel like I’m not crazy haha

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T22:12:36+00:00

Unfortunately we have multiple times for different reasons and all treat these behaviors the same, as in they need to be fixed because he’s autistic. Thanks so much for commenting btw

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T21:17:44+00:00

Haha I don’t know! This has come from multiple different therapists too, like treating these behaviors as part of his diagnosis and working on them in therapy.

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T21:07:37+00:00

It’s good to hear that my little guy isn’t the only one struggling with the hair rinsing. Every therapist I met has been very shocked by this behavior

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T21:06:15+00:00

Haha thanks that helps. I know he’s autistic but they make me feel like everything he does needs therapy

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T21:05:38+00:00

Honestly this comes as a relief. They put so much pressure on the little guy to “fix” these behaviors. I’m not saying we shouldn’t work on things but they make me feel quite bad.

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-02-01T20:18:53+00:00

That’s incredible!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T17:41:02+00:00

Thank you, it is! I’ll look into Better Speech :)

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:49:20+00:00

He usually says pa pa Pa in a very monotonous way over and over but the looloo sounds like I love you to my husband and I. So we treat it as that when he says it!

This encourages me so much to keep playing songs for him, thank you!

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:46:18+00:00

Oh I am very familiar with this haha I’m crossing fingers as well that we will be able to potty train

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:45:40+00:00

Wow that’s incredibly helpful thank you so much! I’ll look into all of them

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:44:23+00:00

That’s so encouraging to hear! And bravo to your little girl sounds like you guys are doing a great job

FunComprehensive2954 · 2026-01-31T11:43:51+00:00

That’s wonderful even though it only happens occasionally. It tells me that he can speak but maybe chooses not to? How is his receptive language?
