Autism Spectrum and Potty Training

My son will be 3 next month and has been diagnosed on the autism spectrum. He is fairly mild since the doctor said that with therapy, he could fall of the spectrum. He is very anxious about potty training and diaper changes. Can others who have children on the mild end of the spectrum tell me about your potty training experiences and the age of your child at the time trained? A little about my son - he is extremely visual, very verbal, but echos everything and likes to line up toys. He is very rigid about the way things are.
