What sports are good for Aspies?

Post Reply New Topic

I'd recommend distance running. I wouldn't be surprised if some aspies are excellent sprinters, though, but distance running is based a lot on pacing and self-motivation, a lot of which are generally good qualities for an individual with Asperger's. I'm not very athletic but I found it to be a wonderful outlet for years. I should start running again soon.

Along this line, I'll suggest martial arts. It's done a lot of wonderful things for my younger aspie cousin, espescially with building his self-confidence. Dancing can be great too, as long as you have a lot of self-discipline. Swimming as well.

I enjoy track and cross country running. It's a team sport but it also has a very independent element. It's as much as you'd like it to be in terms of being team-oriented or independent. I'm not the best, but I love going out and running on my own, plus running with others from time to time. Of course, almost everyone that I talk to (aside cross country and track members of course) hate running. I think it's also a good sport because it's one that you could take with you, and you don't have to compete with others if you don't want to. It can be a part of your daily routine because you could run almost anywhere in the world. Other sports require a field or a court, or certain environmental conditions (e.g. snow or ice) for you to play. You could run anywhere, anytime as long as long as it's not too stormy. You could even get chains for your running shoes if it's icy! lol

I think anyone on the autism spectrum does best in either one-on-one "artsy" sports or totally individual activities. To which would include...
Wrestling
Boxing
Fencing
Gymnastics/tumbling
Powerlifting
Rock climbing
BMX/Motocross
Skate/Snowboarding

Some ball sports can be adapted as well to accomodate those uncomfortable with group association. Examples might include...
Free throw basketball competition or contests like "H.O.R.S.E."
Punt, pass, and kick football
One-on-one roller hockey.

The one solitary activity that I liked and was actually good at was swimming. I can't really remember not being able to swim. I have always loved the water, the way it feels, the way it sounds, and even as a kid I never complained about bathtime. In the water I could move and do things that I never could do on land. However I don't seem to get the joy out of swimming like I did as a child. I want to, but I don't anymore. Maybe it's part of becoming an adult?

I diden't consider tennis because I've found it a "too fast of thinking" sport for me. Of course there's always Jai-Alai
As for baseball, I don't see a position where there's escaping the "team player" anxiety, except maybe in a pitch contest?
Also I never thought about swimming as a "sport" because I was in my mid-teens before I learned how.

Cycling, you can take the sport as far as you want, you can get to the pro level of cycling without ever talking to another person, or you can be on a team, but being on a cycling team is not like being on a team in other sports, because cycling is much individual (at least at the amatuer level). The whole cycling culture is very friendly to aspies or anyone who is different, and while at a race most everyone will be friendly to you know matter what.
Also Triathlons, and running races are the same way and great sports for aspies

Gun sports are good for hand/eye coordination and crossfit is good for overall fitness.

People may not classify it as a sport, but DDR.... Been playing for an hour a day for 3 weeks, down quite a few pants sizes. Just decided to add ankle weights to the playing of DDR as well, so yeah

Thank you, but $200 on DDR in local prices plus shipping... Looks reasonable enough if I work. Thanks a million!

Going on the self-start and self-competition model I'd say there are many; bowling was a good one, golf is also IMO quite good (you just need some dedication to stick to the driving range with your clubs for a while, after that it'll be great for friends and networking). Also cycling, martial arts, surfing, kite boarding, snow boarding if you can find a quiet place to practice - you have plenty of options it just takes giving yourself enough time and having enough patience with yourself (even if certain other people don't) to stick with it.
