J.R. is still not 100% potty trained.  He'll go any time I put him on the potty but doesn't initiate telling me he has to go.  I'd love to hear strategies on how anyone has suceeded with potty training as diapers are pretty expensive for such a big kid!
 
HI Kerry .. My son Kevin who is 23 years old has pws by deletion and has autistic traits such as his waving his hand over his eyes (tick) and social relationships .. When Kevin was about 2 still not walking but roved some and crawled perfection we got a "Mr. Rogers potty training book and would read it to him and go over the pictures till Kevin would want it with him when he went to the potty so we would put it on the back of the toilet and he knew if he wanted to look at the book he had to use the toilet  .. It worked.. !!! He got to where he would say piyee for potty and we knew he wanted to go.. .. I know books with lots of pictures even to this day he loves.. Loves his Leap Frog pad and its books .. lets him use his mind and cognitive skills..  just a few suggestions hope this helps . Tina, mom to Kevin of 23 years of Louisiana
