I am the mother of an autistic child. The key is routine and consistancy. I would wake my son up and tell him-first potty, then wipe, flush, wash--then on to the other parts of his morning. When we get home it's the same thing. Get home, go potty, wipe, flush, wash.While at home--every hour. Let's go potty. Wipe, flush, wash.It has to become a real part of her daily routine. That is the only way. Do it over and over and over--very often. Include it in the list of things you need to do every time you talk about your day. I also used a visual schedule. Pic of a bed, then a toilet, then a table with food, then a tooth brush, then clothes, then backpack, then car.
