my 3 year old

Hello,
my son is 3 years old, when he was 2 1/2 he was diagnosed with Autism. the doctors can't tell me what caused it, and of course I dont like that... my question is if he is ever going to make it by himself, what can i do for him to help him. I want to potty train him, but since he doesn't cooperate I don't know how to do it. He goes to a school for special kids his teacher doesn't see any improvements he only hums and sometimes say no but that is it.
I don't know where to go for information that can help.

It's hard to tell. It depends on the severity of the disorder with your son. Autism is a spectrum disorder. Looking for a cause is going to send you in several directions, because the cause isn't known. My suggestion is not to waste your time looking for a cause and instead focus your attention on what you can do.

Hi,
i have a 4 yr old mildly autistic spectrum girl.  I remember back when she was 3, I wondered the same thing about  how she will be when she is an adult.  All I can say is that the changes from 3-4 were incredible with my daughter.  We took her off of the dialy antibiotics that she was on, and got her on some probiotics and vitamins and the change has been amazing.  i bet your son will start changing soon.  Does he also have sensory processing dysfunction?  I know that shut my daughter down completely, especially in school, she would jsut go into her own world because it was too loud at her school.
Does he have any stomach issues?
