[quote=Anonymous]Can he ride a bike? I have a 6 yo with mild cp but he is a great bike rider and does cyclocross races in the fall. They are untimed/just for fun and cyclists have a great and inclusive community. He is now starting rec climbing for the spring which seems to have a similar community.

My adhd/social anxiety 8th grade dd does NICA mountain bike racing. You can start that in 6th grade (it is a national league). So you have a ways to go, but that has connected us to a whole network of bike people, which we are not (or I guess, were not). But they plan trail clean ups and fun rides and charity rides and all sorts of things -once we got plugged into that community there were have been lots of ways for my kids to participate in things and find community. The coaches are also amazing- they worked one on one with my dd in 7th grade (when she started), since she was the worst on the team. It was a sport totally new to our family, and she is pretty timid by nature. But then this past year, she made a podium finish in one of her races and won a team award and she can do basic bike repairs. It has also made for a great friend network.[/quote]
