She doesn't care if she soiled or wet

My daughter turned 4 in March. We were told she is a "sensory seeker" part of SID. When it comes to potty training, it's like she doesn't care. We have done the rewards thing, wearing nothing but a sun dress, or just panties. Yesterday I went to check on her, she was sitting with poop all up her back, I have no idea how long she was sitting like that, it's like she didn't care she went! She has gone poop in the potty once for me ever, and has never peed. She "knows" that big girls go potty in the toilet and babies go in their pants, but it's like the connection between her mind and her body isn't there. She will be standing next to me and start to pee, it's only when she sees it running down her leg does she realize she was peeing!

I was told by her pediatrician to not worry about potty training her now, that it just won't work until she gets some sort of OT (which we are on the waiting list for). She wants to do all these activities (gymnastics, swimming etc) that require her to be potty trained for her age group and she can't. Any suggestions or is this something we just have to wait out?
