My oldest (5) shows very little interest in things like baseball, soccer, but loves to be physical. I thought he is probably a little too young right now for martial arts, but I think that is something to look at in the future, it is a good discipline too. I enrolled him in gymnastics and it has been great. Imatation is still very hard for him and I think that this helps exercise that part of the brain, but in a fun way. I am also fortunate that he is in a class with typically developing boys and we also have him taking privately. I am going to enroll his younger brother next year.

I've taken bits and pieces of about 4 easily (and that's grouping Kung Fu into one group, which isn't helpful at all), but I enjoyed Kung Fu the most. Actually, it developed into my considered special interest, and now in addition to some skill I have a pretty good knowledge of the different martial arts.

It helped me a lot. It did not improve my motor skills (except for those specific excercises that they taught) whatsoever, but it did teach me how to fall down without getting hurt. Falling in the right way has become almost like a reflex. I did judo from when I was 8 until I was 14. It helped me a lot.

There were several students with autism, a few in the childrens class, probably a few years younger than Charlie, and one student in the adults class, a few years older than Charlie. I think the older boy is still going, and I haven't been for two years. The first student I started working with, I got to work with because I knew his brother from Tae Kwon-Do.
