Hello,
Another week, another HFA question :)
ANyone got any great methods for getting teenage boys with higher functioning autism to exercise?
DS1 hates team sports, hates the noise in swiming pools & gyms, falls over when he runs, cant catch or kick a ball etcc etc.
He hates consoles (as he builds his own PC's) so wont do wii fit.
He hated wearing a fitbit (the feel of it on his arm) - but that may have been linked of the policy I was trying of him having to do 10,000 steps before computer time.
He was doing a sport that he loved (climbing) , but after major surgery folloiwng an accident, he can't face going back and building the strength up again. I know he's happier and healthier when he exercises, but I can't seem to win the argument.
I should just knucle down and enforce it, shouldn't I? Anyone got any fab ideas on what sport I should make him do?
