Potty training a child with autism can present unique challenges, therefore, traditional toilet training may not always be effective. Understanding some autism-specific traits contributing to the challenges of toilet training, will allow us to better understand how to support children during this stage of life. Things such as: ▪ Communication Challenges – Children with autism may struggle with communication or be nonverbal, which can make potty training challenging because they may not have the tools to signal when they need to go. ▪ Routine Changes – Breaking a routine can be difficult. Children with autism who are accustomed to using a diaper may find it hard to transition using the toilet or learning the new routine of going to the bathroom. ▪ Sensory Sensitivities – Autism often involves sensory challenges that vary in expression and severity. Children with autism may overreact or underreact to sensory input, which can lead to anxiety and frustration. For example, the sound of a toilet flushing could lead to increased anxiety or frustration.
