No trigger that we can pin down, mostly transitioning from one thing to another. When he's involved in an activity (say building with blocks), and I hold his potty picture card and say "Potty Time, Justin!" or "Time to go potty" or "Let's go potty!" he says NO, but HELLO! He just downed a whole 8-10 ounces of milk in the last 45 minutes, I KNOW he has to go potty, yk? SO I try to persuade him to come with me. If it's a no go, then sometime's I've let him just wet himself..he doesn't like to be wet, (and at other times it totally oblivious).....other times I take him by the hand, sometimes having to pick him up, and bring him to the potty and let him know it's time to go.

Hi Stacy... just checking in to see how it's going. I was cleaning out my inbox and saw this and realized I'd never gotten back to reading your thread. When I did, I read this part and wanted to let you know that my ds and my ds's friend both did this around age 4. Trying to get him to go was NOT FUN. So, I kind of wonder if this is a 4 year old normal control issue, lol.
Another thought along the line of social stories and the post about the little girl from pmjmomma's post... it reminded me of how we wrote a social story for the boy I was working with about using the bathroom. If social stories are effective for your little guy...
Anyway, hope things are going a bit better.
