Best sport for anxious 7 year old with ASD?

[Rainingbrokenbiscuits]

Hi ya.

My son with ASD is very anxious and has struggled with team games in the past. He has played football and rugby but as he has got older, he has found it too overwhelming. He already goes swimming and does enjoy that (but it is a 1:1 lesson).
I am wondering if some kind of martial art might be better but I don’t really know where to begin?

Does anyone have any experience of activities that their children have enjoyed?
Many thanks. Xx

DS3 enjoys tennis, climbing, kayaking. He does also enjoy team sports, but finds them difficult at times.

If DS was interested in football you could look whether you have an ability counts team locally.

rock climbing?

I’ve not heard of an ability counts team. Thank you.

I did wonder about somewhere with a climbing wall. X
