Running with autism

CedStowe

Does anyone else find autism impacts their ability to run and is able to identify how it does and maybe even manage it? For me it seems to impact on my ability to cope with the conditions, actually getting started, getting over feeling tired and heavy steps.

  • Are you dyspraxic? Dyspraxia often goes with autism and affects things like ability to run, do up buttons, balance and stuff like that.

    People with ASC often have problems with tiredness, you could look up spoon theory and work out how much energy you've got and how many things you need to do and use whats left over to run.

    I don't run, (unless I'm being chased), but I do walk a lot, I'm sure there are people here who could advise you better on running.
