Hello!

I will tell you about exercises that have aerobic potential but have been used in the researches for improving behavior and not for losing weight - what doesn't mean that they can not be useful for losing weight.

Jogging and swimming are the most common physical activities used with autistic children for behavior improvement in scientific research. Also, dancing and bicycling in front of a videogame are indicated as great activities too, in a research that I will leave the reference.

If you can choose between activities that the child should only use the arms (e.g., baseball) versus activities that he/she uses the legs on the entire body, I tend to think that using the whole body should be preferred because of it's aerobic potential - but a physical education professional should know better than me.

My autistic son loves parks and rec soccer, basketball, and baseball. See what you have in your community. Make sure to tell the teacher your child is special needs, so they don't think your kid is acting out, or not listening. (I made that mistake last week)

Hit the Gym asap!!! Trust me on this not only will it boost their confidence, but help a lot with the over stimulation process planet fitness is just 10 a month hope this advice helps you and God Bless......

Nature hike? My daughter is lazy but not overweight. She walks slowly but I think she likes walking in the woods.
