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. That’s why today we’re chatting about Micha’s potty training journey with her son Ace, as well as the impact of a dual diagnosis on toileting. PLUS: WHY do want certain things for our child? Is it for their safety or for societal expectations?
