Proudest mum in the world tonight!

MrsP

I want to share this with you guys because I think your probably the only parents that will 'get it'.

For MONTHS I've tried to get Ds (6) in after school groups... We started swimming, he ended up in 1:1 lessons because he just couldn't cope.

, we tried football where I removed him after the instructor was an idiot and made ds feel like he was rubbish.. We tried beavers where he ended up again on 1:1 because he couldn't cope... Then we tried Marshall arts.

TONIGHT my son had a Marshall arts lesson where he didn't stim, he didn't make inappropriate noises, he listened to the instructo. Wasn't reminded ONCE about listening or behaving and was actually just like every other kid there - he was soooo proud of himself it brought tears my eyes!! 

What other parents can take for granted I got to see tonight - my little lad copying routines, and more importantly picking partners to pair up with for sparring!!

absolukey over the moon :) :)

  • Mrs P, did your son show any interest in marshal arts before going?

    I ask because, well, this is often the key, for us on the spectrum - if we're just not interested, well, we're just not interested, and all our little Austitic traits will come out - but get us engaged in something we're interested in, and those traits will all just melt away, and we'll become amazingly focused, and engaged.
