Guest guest Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 Hello! I recently began working with a little boy, 5 yrs. old, with an autism dx. 2 years ago, his family began (with great effort) working on potty training him. They have had at least three consultants over this time, as well. Over the last couple of years, they have had varying success with voiding, not any with BM's. Currently he wears Pull-ups to school and big-boy pants at home. His parents have taken potty data the entire time, but have not included a food/drink diary with it. The data is all over the place. There is no rhyme or reason to when he goes successfully (in the potty) or when he has accidents. At home and school he is taken to the bathroom about every hour but he still has accidents (some days more than others). Sometimes he urinates every half hour, other times he goes every two hours... just no way of knowing on any given day. I've been told that he doesn't seem to mind when he is wet, and that they do reinforce (wild party, which he loves!... doesn't actually seem like a " reinforcer " by definition) when he goes successfully. His family really wants him potty trained. They have expressed a willingness to " try anything " . They have tried many methods.... Any ideas? Thanks, Amy p.s. For now, I have asked them to record when and how much he is eating and drinking. I've also asked them to try to keep food and drinks on a " schedule " . E.
