Okay, so I don’t know how helpful this will be, but I’ll share in
hopes that it is.  My son turned five in April.  He started using the
toilet in the middle of May.  I had been taking him to the bathroom
and potty training since a couple of months before he turned two.
Oddly, he started toileting the weekend we moved from his father’s
house.  Since then, he has had accidents, sometimes several during a
day.  I talked with his behavior therapist who told me that it is
perfectly normal for children to have occasional accidents, several
accidents in a day, or even several accidents within several days
during the first six months after the child has begun toileting.
Since May we have moved to another city and he started a new school
with all new teachers, friends, and therapists and I started a new
job.  For any child this would have certainly been a difficult
transitional period, but my son has autism.  He has continued
toileting with few accidents for which I am extremely grateful.  I was
beginning to wonder if he would go to Kindergarten in pull-ups.  I
think it took him so long to potty train because he does not process
sensory input appropriately, i.e. he did not feel the mess and thus
did not care about it.  OT, I believe, has assisted him in identifying
some sensations, but maybe he was just ready that weekend in May.  We
had tried rewards, the “potty party”, visiting the toilet on a regular
and frequent basis, demonstrating through modeling with toys and
actual children, and whatever else anyone suggested.  He became angry,
threw his underwear, yelled that he would not use the potty, and
screamed when taken to the potty.  Nothing seemed to work until he was
ready, and when he was, he did it himself.
