[quote=Anonymous]He doesn't like to even sit on the potty closed with all his clothes on - kind of an aversion to toilets in general.  He never even would sit on the little plastic ones on the ground. He always wanted a diaper on and generally refused to poop in the bathroom. Now he is too big for the little potties. He will go in his room to poop after we help him put on a pull up. The reason we are not forcing him to sit on the toilet and giving him a pull up is that it is too traumatic for him and he will withhold his stool which he did in the past when we tried potty-training him when he was 2yo and then again at age 3-4yo.  He ended up very constipated and required medical treatment for the constipation.  We keep trying and have consulted multiple specialists - most attribute it to his autism and say its not that uncommon in children with ASD. No one has given us a good plan to get him to use a toilet for pooping. We are glad that he poops every day now, and we don't want to go back down the route of stool withholding, but he is way too old to not be sitting on the toilet! [/quote]
