Potty Training
Potty training an autistic child can be a rather daunting task, but don’t let it scare you. The key is to be consistent and persistent. Many of our children learn to become potty trained. It may take more effort and more time, but it will happen. As always, you can email AutismLink for any specific questions or if you need help from another parent who has been there. We have many volunteers who are willing to help you. All you have to do is ask!
