[quote=Anonymous]Swimming, gymnastics, dance are appropriate and have many classes available for this age group. These will also provide foundational movement activities and full body work. It doesn’t have to be what DC does for life. Right now you need classes where DC can use their whole body, gain strength and coordination focusing on individual performance within a group. And easily accessible for you and relatively affordable so DC can attend consistently. You also need to find instructors who will work with you to incorporate support and structure that will make DC successful in a group.

Eventually you can introduce other things. Just because DC has autism does not mean they won’t have natural athletic talents. Depending on functional behavior and communication skills, DC could be able to participate in high level athletics or team athletics given specific abilities, but there is really no way for us or you to gauge this right now at 3.5 years old. I would focus on finding the best classes and environments for DC to be successful and have social interactions with peers now, rather than try to find private lessons and such to make DC good at something. DC also should learn how to swim regardless for safety and social purposes. [/quote]
