[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]not the OP..new poster here..

one of my daughters who has an ASD diagnosis is now able to sit on the potty for pee and do it occasionally..she is still in diapers/pullups..should I switch her to underwear and see if it will help her be more consistent?

another daughter who doesnt have a diagnosis (but we have an appointment with dev.ped set up) just sits on the potty and asks to sit on it for pee, doesnt do anything, but then wipes and flushes..its like she likes to do the routine of sitting and wiping and flushing..how do I help her?

Thanks[/quote]

For both:
Be consistent. Put them in clothes they can pull down on their own without any snaps or zippers. Take (don't ask) the child to the potty on a regular/sensical schedule about every 2 hours, e.g., upon waking, b/f snack, b/f lunch, b/c leaving the house, etc. Have them sit 5 minutes on the toilet to help stimulate the elimination reflex (poop).

Use whatever motivates them too, e.g., stickers, points. Praise for trying. Don't get mad when they have an accident. I don't recommend using pull-ups and always carry extra clothes with you. It will happen.[/quote]
