Autism Toolbox for parents and carers

Teaching your child to use the toilet correctly can be a difficult task, whether they are autistic or not.

If your child is autistic, the process of developing a toilet routine can take longer and involve its own challenges.

The health visiting and school nursing team websites have advice on how to support toilet training in children.

ERIC, the children’s bowel and bladder charity, is the UK’s leading charity supporting all children and teenagers with a bowel or bladder problem.

It offers a range of support and information for parents and carers on their website including advice on:

• day wetting
• bed wetting
• constipation
• soiling

National Autistic Society guide aims to answer your questions on how to toilet train your child.
