my almost 4 year old had his first accident today. he's been in undies during the day for about a month, maybe a little longer. he's also ASD, high functioning/level I whatever term is PC this month, biggest challenge is language and communication.
2 things made a HUGE difference when we got serious about starting to potty train. Daniel Tiger and Elmo.
if you're kid watches either, they both have potty episodes or segments, there's even a game for the tablet with Daniel Tiger specifically for the potty.
we got this book and this one ( this one was his favorite) as well as this coloring and activity book we tried the chart with stickers, but it didn't really make that big of an impact, but he liked coloring and I think just seeing the characters and potty activities helped.
the other thing that helped was day care. over the summer we had him in day care half a day 2 days a week, just to keep up the social piece he was missing with no school. they sat them about every hour, he saw other kids going, and I think that made a big difference in his desire to WANT to use the potty.
we didn't do rewards, just lots of praise and clapping, making a big deal, sometimes we'd offer watching a show or other preferred activity. it worked. he script, so a lot of his communication is in the form of repeating shows or movies or songs. so we'd hear him script Daniel tiger's potty song, and we took that as our queue to get him to the potty.
he's getting better about going independently, but we still have a long way to go. and he still needs help with clothes.
my biggest advice is to not rush, which it doesn't sound like you're doing, I think us waiting until he was ready made all the difference.
good luck mama! keep us posted!
Just expect for it to be a months long process. Once I accepted that potty-training wouldn't happen in three days (at least for my kid), the whole ordeal became much more bearable. Also, books. This is B's favorite: https://www.amazon.com/Potty-Sesame-Street-Lift-Flap/dp/038538369X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=p+is+for+potty&qid=1557770203&s=gateway&sr=8-1
