293. Potty Training with a Dual Diagnosis


Listen Later

Raise your hand if the thought (or maybe even the memory) of potty training gives you anxiety! This parenting milestone sure brings up a lot of feelings, especially for those of us in the disability community. Here’s what we’re chatting about today:

  • Micha’s potty training journey (including some behind-the-scenes voice notes and training tips!)

  • The impact of a dual diagnosis (Down syndrome and autism) on potty training

  • Dealing with internalized ableism

  • PLUS: WHY do we actually want certain things for our child? Is it for their safety or for societal expectations?

And also, happy Autism Acceptance Month! Lets celebrate that and remember: learning new things can take a long time. And that’s okay.
