Hey, I have a 6year old son who has autism. He's never did anything in the toliet. He will sit on the toliet, but refuses to do anything in it. How long does it take to click? My mom knows a women who has a 6feet, 16year old grandson still in pull-ups. My son is almost my height already!! To tell you the truth I'm scared. My sister got her boy pottied by 6-7years fully, but she wiped him for going in his underwear and all. Last year he did the underwear as soon as he walked in the house and so on. He just hid it from me. (He looked scared too.) Yes, we went very often too. And one time he had an fit and throw himself out on the toliet. Having his head it the back 3-4 times before I could get him to calm down. I think it was cause he felt he had to *** and didn't want to without a pull-up on. He doesn't talk yet eaither. Just someone out there tell me I'm not hurting him by not forcing him to only *** in the toilet. And he will get this before he's 16!
Looking for encouragement
