DS loves the idea of attending an extra-circular class like the other boys at school do - but he has high functioning autism so it's not so easy to find something for him.
Most of the boys he knows are in swimming, football, rugby, tennis etc etc. DS does not like sports
I tired DS in a martial arts class and on the first day it went largely ok -but the second day was a bit of a disaster and I had to take him out if it early. He was getting upset if he came last in the warm up run and not paying attention in group activities. I could see the other children looking at him thinking 'who is this weird kid were stuck with ok our team'. He was being a bit disruptive and I felt it wasn't fair in the other students and parents to leave him there.
I feel like there's noting for him - which makes him more isolated. The other children in the class are meeting at the weekend at these classes and DS is sitting at home.
It worries me as I wonder what will he fit into in life
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

What hobbies are there for the child who acts up wherever he goes?
