At the start of our potty training journey, Michael would always come with me to the bathroom. I demonstrated how it’s used, familiarized him with the sound of flushing, and made him comfortable being in the bathroom with me. Aside from our pretend-play related to using the bathroom… 👉🏻 Initially, I tried so many different marketed baby toilets / urinals for him, but he’s outgrown them and the cleanup was an extra hassle. 🥤Now, for pee, I simply use a plastic disposable cup, which I flush, rinse and reuse at home. Switching to a generic plastic cup has been very practical, especially when we’re out and traveling too. I can easily get a free plastic cup anywhere, use it on the go, and then dispose of it. Also, Michael isn’t tall enough for public toilets, and I prefer not to have him use/touch toilets directly. I use a plastic cup inside the restroom stalls! 😮💨 Regressions: Although Michael has made several successful trips to the toilet, recently, he has started showing noticeable distress — an unexpected setback. But that’s okay, we’re going back to the basics of modeling once again, focusing on simple exposures such as encouraging him to watch the flushing action. 👑 Details on our approach to potty training and more updates are on Subscribers’ Page 👑. #parenting #autism #ASL #signlanguage #nonspeaking #nonverbal #inspiration #motivate #autismawareness #autismjourney #neurodivergent #parentingtips #howto #pottytraining
