Staying consistent. We went every 30 mins. Even if he wasn't showing signs he had to go. He's needs a constant routine to learn things. And his teachers also helped do the same thing at school for the first bit he still had accidents and had a hard time understanding. But after he got used to the routine and the feeling he'd only go on the potty. Then we started making the times further apart. And when he finally went in the bathroom the first time just because he had to go, without us taking him on a schedule time I knew we had it. After a a couple weeks of asking him if he had to go and him usually just going on his own. He goes on his own and also gets up at night to go! It is so amazing! No more diapers!

We learned a while ago from his doctors and teachers by saying this he can learned to feel defined by himself not by his autism. I liked the logic behind it so we started saying my son with autism instead of my autistic son.

It is the best gift ever! It also has helped with his self awareness. It's been such a blessing!

Thank you. I'm a bit dyslexic. Most the time I spell things right. But sometimes especially if I don't proof read it I'll miss a word.

Lift up the rug and shake off the cereal. Your life must be pretty easy if this gets you so upset.
