We have covered this on a couple of occasions before. Indeed this is one of the most ask questions on our Facebook page AutismTalk. So do have a look here.

So I was delighted to find these two great videos from Tali Berman who is an autism specialist on how to potty and toilet train a child on the autism spectrum.




Toilet training your child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)? An invitation to take part in a research project from in the Irish Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Research (ICAN).

We are running a  number of invitations to our readers to participate in research which we hope will greatly benefit the wider autism community on behalf of in the Irish Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Research (ICAN).  You can check out their web site here http://www.nuigalway.ie/ican/index.html.

The subject of this study is toilet training and autistic children.

Has your child experienced toilet training difficulties?  Or has toileting been successful for your child? The Irish Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Research (ICAN) in National University of Ireland, Galway are interested in hearing about your experiences with toileting a child or adolescent aged 5 to 17 years with autism.  We are interested in how being successfully toilet trained or not being toilet trained affects a child’s sleep, gastrointestinal symptoms, adaptive behaviour and quality of life. Even if your child doesn’t have these symptoms, we can still learn a lot from your information on why some children have these symptoms and others do not.

A few days ago we ran the second in our series of blogs on autism and challenging behaviour  For this blog we looked at toilet training for children with autism. You can check out the original blog here – https://patienttalk.org/?p=2418.

Most of the discussion took place on our Facebook page AutismTalk  (https://www.facebook.com/AutismTalk) and one commenter mentioned a book she had written on the subject.  Charlotte Olson, the author, has a micro blog introducing us to Suzie’s Toilet Time.




She writes:-

“Enter the bathroom with Suzie and become aware of the different textures, lighting and sounds in the bathroom.

From the bright tiles, to the fluffy carpet and the noisy sounding flush.

A simple story to help any child who may be anxious about going to the bathroom and using the toilet.

If Suzie can do it, then so can you.

Please take a look at my website, here you will see further titles.

So drop round and check the book out.  Please drop back to this post and let us know how useful you found the book!
