Potty Training a Non-Verbal Autistic Toddler?

My daughter is getting close to 3 years old and I’m having trouble communicating the use of the potty. She’ll sit and wipe, but she won’t “go.”

    @kyrenora Idk what potty training methods you've tried, but I read the Oh Crap potty training book. It has a great method of training in steps and watching for their indications of needing to go, rather than asking them or waiting for them to tell you they need to go. It might be a good resource, especially if she is not verbal. The book uses more physical cues to communicate what needs to happen, rather than telling them and expecting them to understand.
