I think I was stressing him out too much. He finally went potty yesterday morning. This morning, he went again, except, I had to make him go to the bathroom as soon as we got in the house. Hopefully we'll have more potty success today! It’s so true that it will happen. I think I was stressing him out too much. He finally went potty yesterday morning.

Our local school district therapist provided it to me, and it was amazing. There are some very simple issues that kids can have, and this book addresses them all. I would recommend anyone with a special needs child to buy the book, us it and then donate it to the local library or school district to help other parents struggling with special needs potty training.

This is why I ended up using DIR Floortime. Nothing is more abusive than ABA. I've seen some prisoner tactics on TV that were nicer than ABA, but yet, ABA seems to be the "Torture of Choice" for Autism teaching. I won't allow my son to be taught in anyway using ABA. It's brutal. And I don't believe in ABA to teach personal hygeine either. My son's Preschool teacher says it best. "There are not many 20 year olds still in diapers, so IT WILL HAPPEN!" That has relaxed me. You and I agree 100% on this. This is why I ended up using DIR Floortime. Nothing is more abusive than ABA.
