[quote=Anonymous]For boy, he does soccer, basketball, fencing, rock climbing and scout. For girl, she does basketball, dance, art, rock climbing and girl scout. None is good at any sports, but they have fun and enjoy them. I treat that as informal social skill session because they need to interact with other kids. My ultimate goal is to improve flexibility, coordination, sensitivity, friendship, understanding social cues, learning sportsmanship and keeping them away from screentime.

To me, the keys is not to avoid group sports because they are on the spectrum. When they were very little, they sometimes did not even participate or just cried there in the class.  I sit at every practice/games/class in case they need me for food/drink/emotional support/intervention/take them to bathroom and make sure that no bullying/avoid conflicts.  Moms are understanding every kids develop differently, and I do not know if any is aware that my kids are on the spectrum. I try not to limit their opportunities and I sign up whatever I think is a good fit after my research. Most kids are friendly and they all get along with each other. [/quote]
