[quote=Anonymous]My son with asd goes to the Arlington YMCA. They have sweet staff who have been very willing to accommodate and work with him. He had a fear of putting his head in the water as well, and a strict teacher (at prior location) helped him get over that. He basically said 'put your head in the water or I will drop you in the deep end,' It sounds horrible, but my son responded to that after weeks of fruitless attempts ;-). He continued to enjoy his lessons so I guess he needed that approach to get him over the hump. He was so proud of himself, yelling 'Mommy I did it!!" every time he put his head under water. [/quote]
