[quote=Anonymous]My son has MERLD or Asperger's or MERLD and ADHD. Pick the DX; no one agrees. He potty trained at 3 years and 10 months because I decided it was time. He would have let me wipe his butt forever. We got a copy of "You Can Go to the Potty" and read it several times. We set up a potty training weekend. He sat on the potty for 5 minutes, every hour on the hour for three days. When he managed to go in the potty, we gave him a toy out of "the treasure box." (He loved these little plastic toys that came in tubes.) After that weekend, we had him sit on the potty when he got up in the morning, and then after every meal, and before he went to bed for 5-10 minutes. We didn't make a big deal about going in his pull-up, but rewarded him every time he pooped or peed in the potty with another pick from the treasure box. It took about 3-4 weeks but he had it down pretty quickly. [/quote]
