Howdy hinklek-ga,

Have you reviewed sources such as the following?

National Autistic Society - Toilet training
http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=367&a=3366

"Even the most able child may have difficulties recognising the
sensations of needing to go to the toilet."

"Applying Structured Teaching Principles to Toilet Training"
http://www.teacch.com/toilet.htm

"Parents and teachers have tried many approaches to teaching the
children to use the toilet independently. Not all children respond
to the same teaching techniques. A method that is helpful in one
child's situation may not be useful in another case."

If the above types of article would appear to be helpful, I would
be more than happy to find similar additional ones to answer your
question.  Thanks!
