Infant Potty Training
My sister has an 18 month old son who is autistic. She's concerned because he's such a big boy (he wears 3T's) that he's going to outgrow his diapers. Change comes is very difficult for him (the autism) and I was wondering if she would be able to work with him in this fashion. I know the goal of ECing isn't early potty training, but she's desperate.

I worked but it was "training" not EC. True EC not toilet training could help their relationship. I think her becoming intune with her son through EC is a wonderful thing for her and her son!
