Does it take longer to teach an autistic child toilet habits?
Alyssamcintosh908
For most autistic children, yes. Because of change and sensory issues. But a child might get use to it eventually. But there will be problems if you keep the toilet training delayed much longer that is your child will grow up not getting use to toilet habits when they reach to their teens and adulthood, which is why you should start with them when they're at the age of 4 or 5. Have a therapist help your child with toilet habits. Have an Autistic child watch an Educational video about toilet training-that might get them use to it. For instance if you have a puppy, start training them to go outside and explain to your Autistic child why you do that. Start observing an autistic child after mealtimes to take them to the bathroom even when they don't feel like they need to go. Show them their new routine such as a picture of a toilet. When they finally succeed in using the toilet, start praising them and rewarding them.

What could be causes of and autistic child to lose the potty training skills?
If an Autistic child loses skills then this is regression, it can occur at certain ages but is most commonly a result of stress in the childs life - for example if a parent pushes an Autistic child to act Neurotypical this can result in additional stress for the child so they regress and lose skills, or if there's something in their life causing stress such as home problems. Essentially the child is slipping back into their mind, losing the connection between thinking 'I need the toilet' and actually taking the action to go to the toilet.
