Okay so my son was never interested in potty training. He's 4 years old and has autism, and perhaps adhd. He started taking Adderall about 4 or 5 months ago and since then has started to pee on the potty, but only if someone takes and puts him on it. He is non-verbal and cannot tell anyone if he needs to go.
He has pooped on the potty a couple times. He only poops once every 2,3 or 4 days. He waits until it's his bedtime and will take off all his clothes, and his pull up and go on the floor. Sometimes he'll leave it be and other times, like tonight, it ended up all over the room, on his table, bed, bedding, toy box, walls, floor, etc. It took me almost 2 hours to clean up.
I've tried duct taping a diaper on, but no matter how I do it he can get it off. I tried to cut the feet of a blanket sleeper and turn it around... He twists his body until he can get the zipper down. I tried a safety pin, which he managed to get off (I am awaiting an order of diaper pins to see if those work better).
I do not know what to do. I know he's doing it because he's not comfortable going in front of me (or anyone), he's not comfortable going in the potty, and he's not comfortable sitting in it. I have always checked on him shortly after his bedtime and changed his diaper when it was dirty.
The other weird thing is that he seems to know that it's wrong, or he doesn't like it or whatever. When I went to put him back to bed tonight he grabbed the door frame and I had to turn on the light and carry him around his room so he could make sure it was all cleaned up.
Does anyone have any ideas, either on how to help him stop, or on how to keep a diaper and pj's on him at night???
Thank you so much!
