[quote=Anonymous]I have a diagnosed level 2 ASD K’er, who I would say has made some strides with lots and lots of therapy and is now somewhere between level 1 and level 2. I would like to get him involved in something outside of school but I’m just not sure what. Honestly a lot of his time is taken up with weekly speech therapy and a weekly OT appointment for feeding therapy at a clinic that’s not super close to our house. And he does do a weekly swimming lesson at a kids swim place that he tolerates but doesn’t necessarily look forward to.

But his friends and classmates are starting to get involved with other stuff and I just don’t know what would be good for him. Little League is too much standing around. Personality-wise he’d be put off by kids being aggressive at soccer or another team sport and would likely lash out or tantrum. He is also not the most coordinated child due to his disability. I don’t think martial arts is the right fit, and I’m concerned about the time commitment and fundraising/sales requirements for Cub Scouts. I’ve thought seriously about a kids art class because I think he would like it but am having trouble finding a decent class that I think could work with him. If your kid is also like this, is “therapy” essentially their only activity? [/quote]
