It's pretty common knowledge that children with ASDs on the lower functioning scale are often in diapers for a long time, sometimes up to 7 years of age or older.
However, those with A.S. I've noticed from the people I've talked to had some issues with toilet training as well. I am not diagnosed yet, but I was in diapers until I was five. It wasn't because I couldn't use the toilet, but it was because I wanted to follow a rigid routine and told myself when I was four I was still too little to try and I needed to wait until I was five years old. A few days after my fifth birthday I started going.
My youngest brother who is adopted I think might have A.S. as well. He also was in diapers until five years old. I know someone else who was in them until four. In general, boys toilet train later, but not usually that much later, it is sometimes maybe until they are almost three or three and a half.
