Physical Activity. What works for your Aspie?

Post Reply New Topic

generally, i only try to get daughter to walk outside- she loves animals & bird watching......she tires after walking 1/2 mile- and i'm not talking about a fast pace, either............i'd like to try & get her to build up her endurance, but if i even mention walking without there being a reward attached to the walk, she balks.

My gf's son probably walks 10 miles a day. I need to put one of those step counters on him. It really is amazing.

I enjoyed swimming and sailing. You can swim alone or compete with people. You can sail alone, compete with people, or sail with people or sail with people competing with other people. But you don't need other people to swim or sail. Swimming and sailing are also very handy, even necessary, things to know.

Depends on age,
at your sons age try bicycling, swimming, tree climbing, hiking, get him an exercise machine, bar bells, a simple pull up bar mounted in his room or in the garage, roller skating, roller blading, skateboarding, ice skating, archery, stuff like that.
or if into sports then the usual school activities.

Same as the rest: walking, biking, trampoline. He even enjoys gym at school oh and he clinbs everything, too. stair banisters, rocks, on top of doors... mostly stuff he's not supposed to climb

My 11 year-old loves this to burn off energy and she's smiling the whole time. Today in the freezing cold went up to 700 times. Also riding her scooter. Anything that is noncompetitive and by herself, swinging on the swing is great in the nicer weather as well.

never anything that requires gross motor coordination.....clumsy, clumsy, clumsy
