I worked in a special needs classroom, and I don't think there is a common age! Some of our kids with autism were trained very early(one at 18 months), but some were not until middle school! Some just don't train easy, but when we started them in the classroom we started them the same way you would any child. One thing we did find is that diapers sometimes don't feel wet, and underwear with plastic pants encouraged the kids cause they didn't like being wet!
