My son is 2.5 and showing signs of wanting to toilet train taking nappy off with every wee etc. GREAT. Well it would be IF he could talk and communicate he is GDD. My older son was the same and didn't become toilet trained until he was near on 4...i would so love some tips to make it easier.

i haven't had any boys but my aunt utilised the bushes in the backyard until they were a little more "ready"
We used a communication system like PECS. It's the same principles, look for a signal that he is ABout to wee, prompt him to give you the toilet card and rush him off to the toilet.
Before starting make sure he is comfortable on the toilet or potty and can sit for 5 mins without freaking out. If he can't do that practice sitting on the toilet or potty for just 5 seconds and build from there.
I also found nappy free data helpful. I've toilet trained other people's kids with ASD it GDD and a few freaked out the first time they weed without a nappy. So you might need to check that he is comfortable with that.
