I agree @DonnaL Neither one of my boys can ride a bike. They were teens before they learned to swim. Each child is different . We as parents need to realize this to avoid frustrating ourselves and them. I agree that there are bigger things to concentrate on. My sons both participate in scouting . While neither one is on the spectrum, several of their troop members are. Scouting can be a wonderful activity for children like this because they can challenge themselves individually when needed, but ultimately work toward tolerating and excelling in a group at their pace. I’d recommend thinking about scouting once his anxiety decreases and he is able to tolerate social activities with decreased acting out.
