Paula Report post Posted March 5, 2007 My son has joined a tae kwon do class on a saturday..............And it went realy well and he was absolutly buzzing with excitement when he came out. I was a bit worried but i explained to the instructer that he had mild learning difficulties and aspergers syndrome but was capable of following instructions and could he give it a go but if the man thought it was too much and he messed about then he must tell me and id take no offence. But i neednt have worried it went great......he made some new freinds.and the man teamed with someone to help him and he said he can keep going..............Plus he didnt charge us incase it did go wrong.......... Ive never seen me son be so happy....... The man said it would realy help him with balance and coordination and disapline and stuff plus its exercise and a way of letting out agression in a controlled way........... I gave him a big hug.im dead proud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paula Report post Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Well id thought for ages he needs to be doing something other than sitting playing ps2 games...he does go out walking with me and his dad and enjoys going on his bike and stuff.....but when yer get ddown to it he never ever mixes with any NT children as he attends a special school so this is all new to him. i was dead worried thinking oh god hell run around like a loony or kick of but he didnt he took it all in his stride............ Now i might be getting ahead of me sen but hell be pitching up every week smelling nice and haveing had a shower and his haire done coz theres girls at this group and like i said to him yer need to start casting yer net wider to rope some B**gg# in .hes fresh meat in that place .please god let him click wi some ###### wholl take him of our hands eventually..the engagement ring is on standby............
