Removing clothing might be a sensory issue the fabric might be the problem.

@A MyAutismTeam Member <-- I'm not sure how to respond directly to you.

My 4yo who we potty trained is moderately asd. So I'm sure it will be different.

Our youngest is severely autistic and also nonverbal. We are going to try the same approach. It's not an ideal situation because they end up peeing everywhere, but it worked, so we are willing to try with Charlie.

We just stop putting diapers on her and started using actual underwear, but thicker potty training cotten underwear.

Hopefully you can put aside like a week with extra support and time. That's hard to do, I know.

We were going to say "go go go" and run with her to the bathroom, and give her a reward. We're hoping she'll show some kind of que she needs to go.

I'll let you know how it goes. She's only two. If it doesn't go well, I think we will wait longer.

My daughters were only recently diagnosed, so I'm kinda figuring out too.

Yes! Diapers are so expensive!

My oldest was like this!! She would always strip naked and pee everywhere!! It was awful.

We got cookies 🍪 or a treat and when she would start peeing we would run her to the potty really fast and give her half a cookie, even if she got a little bit in there and huge praise. We would sing too.

When she would pee on whatever we would visibily show her we were upset and clean it up. I'm not sure if this is "right" or not but we stayed persistent and it worked.

It was a very tough time. Just this last 6 months she started caring about wearing clothes. She only stripes naked on really big meltdowns.

She's 4 now and mostly potty trained.

@A MyAutismTeam Member hi question 🙋🏻‍♀️
