[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is a coach of a competitive team. A parent let him know about a similar situation. He did not give the child a “special treatment “but it did help him understand why it seemed like the kid was aloof or didn’t want to be there half the time. What was thought to have been an attitude problem, really wasn’t. It certainly helped. DH also try the kid in a different position with more action and it worked out much better for this kid. [/quote] It’s fantastic that your husband reacted in this way. The problem is that OP has no idea if her child’s coach will do the same, and this is a team he “barely made.” For every coach that is willing to give the child the benefit of the doubt and potentially make adjustments, there is another who doesn’t understand neurodiversity and would make negative snap judgments, underestimate the child’s abilities etc.[/quote]
