Tiffany, Have you tried some of the suggestions in this article? Try not to put too much pressure on him, and when he does have success, use praise. You may want to read or do something fun while he sits on the potty...just to get him to relax. A reward system might work as well.-Susie

I have a 4 year old autistic little boy and we are currently in the middle of trying to potty train him. were not to sure what to do he will go pee a thousand times in the toilet but when it comes to a bowel movement he tells us "a minit" but he still never goes in the toilet we put him on the toilet and its like he holds it in and dosnt want to go he will just cry on the toilet but he will stand that to pee. what can i do to help with the rest of potty training i call it the poopy blues lol

Amber, Have you talked to a specialist about this problem? Other advice could include trying to establish a pattern even if he doesn't go; don't keep him on the potty too long; figuring out a reward system that might work; and paying attention to his timing as far as what time of day he goes.-Susie

my step son is autistic and he is 5 years old. we still have yet to get him potty trained. He has days that he will go and hes okay and he has other days that he won't go at all. we can put him on the toilet and 10 minutes after getting him down he goes in his pants. he does pretty good when hes at my house but when he is at his mothers he won't go hardly at all and he gets very frustated by it. do u have any suggestions to help us with this situation.

Lucy, I would wait until after the new baby is born. You'll have your hands full those first few weeks, and trying to care for a newborn, spread your attention around to your other children, and take care of yourself is a lot to handle. If you try to potty train now, you may find that your 2 year old regresses for a while after the baby comes. Wait a few weeks until things calm down a bit. Good luck!-Susie
