[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting some PP mentioning volleyball for boys. I have never thought of boys doing volleyball. I assume you are not talking about beach volleyball, right? I always thought of volleyball for mainly girls only. I don't know when it starts in MoCo. [/quote]

Volleyball is definitely more popular for girls, but there a boys and co-ed. The county offers rec volleyball, and MCPS has boys and co-ed volleyball as varsity sports.

OP, another options is martial arts. Some autistic kids flourish in it because they're not focused on anyone else but themselves, it's structured and everyone is following the same rules, etc. A bunch of kids from our neighborhood did martial arts camp together last summer, including my son (who has been doing tae kwon do and brazilian jujitsu for a few years now). One of the girls is HFA, very rigid about everything, freaks out if she feels like someone isn't following the rules, doesn't read the room, etc. I watched her absolutely blossom in that environment last summer.[/quote]
