I'm feeling a lot better going into this weekend than I did for the last one. It's just me and hubby too - no other reenforcement. But the hard work is paying off... I think we have B on a schedule! He seems to get it now. We put him on the potty and he goes immediately. No more of these potty camp-outs where we wait for hours at a time for him to eventually go little by little. He seems to have good control and is even staying dry at night most of the time (HUGE bonus!). VERY few accidents.
He doesn't yet request to go. We anticipate his needs based on a loose schedule and on his body signals. Hopefully he'll connect the dots and ask to go at some point. He may not - some kids on the spectrum never do and rely on a schedule and self control in between those scheduled times. Time will tell. In the meantime, I am feeling really good about our progress. He is back to doing therapy and wearing clothes! And he is no longer crying or whining. He gets it! He's a big kid now. Our next step is to actually get him out of the house (other than the back yard). The poor kid has not been anywhere in almost 2 weeks! And I haven't changed a diaper in 11 days.
