[quote=Anonymous]I am looking for suggestions for a sport for my DS, who is 7. He has severe ADHD and a social skills delay. He is medicated and does great all day in school (we are incredibly lucky the medication works well for him) but he is definitely behind in the way he engages with peers. He had a language delay, whcih explains some of this. He doesn't quite meet the criteria for an autism diagnosis but it is reasonable to think that is part of the picture, at least for thinking about how he presents.

I would really like to get him into some kind of physical activity. He is on the small side and has some gross motor coordination issues so we have avoided team sports. He is in swim lessons and I hope he can eventually do swim team, but he is not quite there yet. Any suggestions for another sport that might be good for a kid with this profile? The big struggle is, in our neighborhood at least, kids his age are getting serious about sports (already..) so something like soccer or baseball could go really poorly and harm his confidence. Thanks in advance. [/quote]
