Potty train I had the same thing with both of my boys, who were trained at ca 4 years (plus a few months for my oldest, minus a few months for my youngest).  With my oldest, we had a breakthrough when we let him sit facing the toilet tank.  He felt more stable in that position, and could relax enough to pee on the toilet.  He quickly transitioned to standing or sitting in the normal position. With my youngest, we had a breakthrough when we let him go bare all day.  He held it in until he couldn't hold it any longer, then we plopped him on the potty chair and he went.  That proved to himself that he could do it, and that it wasn't so scary after all.  It's hard to say what might lead to a breakthrough in your case, but here are some free online resources related to potty training and autism.  http://www.autism-pdd.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16098&am p;KW=potty+resources Good luck! I show him treats but I don't think he makes the connection - If I go, I will get the cookie. Once he goes once and I give him the treat he will get it I'm sure, but he just won't go, not even once!I poured warm water over DS becuase he would always go in the tub.  You mught try his hand even.  You know the prank at sleepovers if you put someones hand in warm water while their sleeping they can pee the bed.  That and skittles.  It's been almost 3 years I've been training him, but it worked for us. Hi, my son is 3 years old with PDD. I am trying to potty train him, he will sit on the potty but will not go! He understands what it is and what it's for but does not go. I believe if he goes once he will get what he needs do and I will praise him and he will do it again and again but how do I make him go the first time?? Any ideas? Thanks!Do you offer him some sort of reward or treat? I find that if I show it to him before he goes (either as I drag him into the bathroom or once he's up on the seat) then he gets the picture and will actually make himself go. This only with him for pee pee. He still prefers to hide in a dark corner somewhere and go poop in his pull-up. I think going poop on the potty is harder for all boys, ASD or NT. Let me clarify: by "him" I mean your son though. Mine is 4.5 and I've just gotten him going when I sit him on the potty, but he still doesn't take the initiative. Hopefully things are going better with your son.
