Physical activity has many benefits for children with autism. Movement and outdoor time can be rejuvenating while releasing lots of pent-up energy. Physical activity can also help kids with autism learn to regulate their bodies and strengthen their muscles.
On MyAutismTeam, the social network and online support group for parents of kids with Autism, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Staying active is one of the top 10 topics most discussed.
Here are some conversations about staying active:
• My son exercises along with the TV
• Trampoline helps my son work off his energy.
• Are your kids in any extra activities?
• My son is so happy when he's at the gym.
Can you relate?
