Answered 3 years ago
My son is going through the process of getting diagnosed for autism and still isn’t potty trained yet an I think maybe he isn’t ready for 3 year old kinder and am considering trying him out in a daycare first..

I’d probably keep him home for a bit longer and just wait till he’s ready for kindy.
If he does end up being diagnosed with autism then may even let you start him even later at kindy.

Find a centre who is inclusive & understanding, preferably with staff who are trained in SEN, regardless if it's a kinder or daycare. My ASD DS hated daycare. When we switched him to kindy (at 4, no 3 yr kinder in QLD) he blossomed with the routine, same age peers etc. Everything improved a lot.
He's 8 now. Still goes through periods of toileting issues so be prepared to possibly deal with it for a long time. (He cleans his own undies now, tho).
