How do you potty train a 9 year old girl with severe autism that has a mental capability of a 2 year old so she will not need to wear diapers?
Well, have you tried a reward system? Try leading her to the bathroom when she shows signs of needing to go. When she starts to, just put her on the toilet, then give her a few M&Ms afterwards, keep doing this until she is potty trained. Although I am still a child (13 years old). I have helped train my cousins and I have succeeded in potty training my 1 1/2 year old sister using this method. I work with autistic kids at school some of them don't talk, and the rewards method seems to work. I say if she wants 2 let her stay in diapers
