Toilet training children can be challenging especially when they have sensory processing differences or demand avoidance. It is very common for some autistic children to take longer to learn skills around toileting than their peers. Here are some links to helpful information around toileting:
Eric the Bladder & Bowel Charity – they also have a free helpline
- Constipation & Autism
- Further advice on constipation
- Guide to disimpaction
- Toilet training a child with additional needs
Guidance on special toileting needs in schools and early years settings by Warwickshire County Council
National Autistic Society Guide to toileting
