My 4 1/2 year old autistic son was finally pee pee trained about 6 months ago. However, he absolutely refuses to go poo poo on the potty. I have read that this is a common problem, but have not come across very much info as to how to move forward in this area. It is obvious to me that he is afraid to go on the potty. I have tried anything & everything I know how to move him past this fear, to no avail. He is very much aware of when he needs to go, and will even ask me for a diaper when he gets the urge. But sitting him on the toilet becomes a battle of the wills, which is a no win situation. Any suggestions?

Does anyone know where I could take my son for swimming lessons? He would need someone who was willing to work with his high anxiety and also his coordination problems.

I would like help finding a school for my seven year old son who has pdd with autism. I am prepared this spring to sue the board education of nyc because they don't have a class for pdd and most of the children are pdd in special education .

My 3 year old daughter wakes up every night crying.  Is that normal behavior for an autistic child?
