Another proud mum

[av16]

Just wanted to share something nice and maybe give some hope to others. My son's obsession is football, he's been training with a team for 2 years and it's taken him a long time to feel at home with the other boys. I wouldn't say they are his friends but he can manage some conversation (about football). The team has changed to 11 aside from 7 a side and a lot of new boys have joined; for the last few weeks he has been unsettled. Today was a tournament and I was worried if he could keep it together and yes he did. They didn't win the tournament but he looked comfortable and was voted 'the played who stayed in position the best'. I was so proud

Thanks to you all for your comments. It has been difficult over the last 2 years, he's been really, really upset sometimes after training when someone has made a throwaway comment ( what a rubbish pass etc.) that anyone else would have been able to forget or ignore. I know we will get this again as he still thinks he's rubbish but he has learnt so, so much. If any of you are able to get your children into anything similar and they can cope it can be so good for them. I know we are really lucky that he's been able to cope- just about. I'm sure it's helped some of his agression too, not quite so many incidents in school.

I'd give anything for my son to join in ANY sort of team effort, but it's not going to happen

That's wonderful, av16. You both must be chuffed to bits. <'>

yes my boys obsession is football. he has also trained with a team for 2 years and is playing for a team. They are good competitive team and win. At first i thought it may be all too much for him, but i have to say he loves it. It gives him a little social life which as you all know for kids with AS is not easy. I am pleased that we have kept this going as it is paying off for C. If Peter Crouch is reading this please stay with Liverpool FC lol.
