My son is also has Autism. He does not understand why he has to sit on the potty and why we are taking his pull-up away. He has started to get a little violent when we try to inforce time-outs.
I have a 3 year old little boy who we are trying to potty train. Anything would be helpful?

Maybe he is not ready. They say that once your child understands the basics he is capable. My niece is two and has been fully potty trained for a while. The autism may be affecting his learning but I am no doctor.
There are a lot of other factors too like how you introduced it to him, how much attention HE feels he is getting from you, and how comfortable he feels in his environment. Some kids aren’t ready because they just aren’t. Others just want to be babys and you have to push them into it.
Ask yourself if you really think it’s he isn’t capable. If he is actually capable of completing the steps required and understands what to do then you should re evaluate how you are going about it. Maybe try researching some child psychology books. Boys are harder than girls too.
good luck

my SIL had alot of trouble toilet traing her son, he was 3 also. She ended up taking him outside and letting him run around naked and when he would wee she would take him to the garden, he eventually would go to the garden himself and she would point out to him that he was going there to wee. And then when he was goin to the garden she would ask him if he was going to wee and take him to the toilet.
Don’t make it a stressful time and don’t punish him if he doesn’t do it, it will make it harder on you both.
Might not be what your after but you said ‘anything’.

What i would suggest is, giving your child rewards if he goes potty. What we did was give my child one cherry for number one, and two for number two. But if he continues to be violent, maybe hes not ready.

first you baby need to understand the basic between pee-pee and pot i have a 3 year old but he was potty train at the age of 17 months with the help of me and me and my step mom for instance if your child spends the weekend at someones house like grand parents there needs to be a pot over there and you need their participation every 15 to 30 Min’s ask your child do they have to pee make sure they understand what dis means sit him on the pot for about 10 min if he pees praise him for doing good work make sure you say the word pe(yay!!!!!!! you pee pee!!!!!) from the time he not on the pot make sure he haves on a pull up the kind that let u know when he wet it and if he make a mistake and wet it let him know to tell u when he have to pee and put him on the pot one on the old say in is like when you are in the shower pot him on the pot the shower sound is something like to trigger it (have you notice that when you turn on the shower just before you got in you had to used the bathroom) try this and make sure you try this everyday and maybe you need to have someone come in and help someone who specialized in deal with that

It’s hard potty training but remember that all children develop at different rates and very few children are ready to be dry at 1 1/2 years as their muscles just are not developed enough to control themselves at that age. Be led by your child – mine would not use the potty at all but would use the toilet (with a training seat & step). Have you tried this? Above all praise your child when they do it and they will learn that doing this makes you pleased with them – that’s what all children want. Good luck!
