Autism and firearms

ahhh as much as id like to be supportive guns and mental health issues are a big massive no for me.

i wanted to join the army or navy at one point, of which both declined me, but they are lucky they declined because even i would be unpredictable with a gun. thered be times where id likely want to shoot myself with it, and ofcourse if a trainer got very shouty and obnoxious id ofcourse probably turn the gun on them in my heightened emotional state. so i have to honestly say a big no to guns even for myself. guns can only end in tragedy.

however martial arts would be good, sure he may lash out and go too far in sparring of which i did at times lol, but hed get good fitness and development and be able to develope and control his life better off the internal lessons and sense of self it builds when done right.

I did martial arts for 5 years before I realized I would never be any good.  I am at the very stiff end of the flexibility spectrum and find it very hard to relax in a fight.  It was good fun but I don't think I would every have passed my black belt (I tried once but it was a bit of a disaster).

So it depends on flexibility and nerve.  If you can't relax under pressure you might not do so well.

ah getting black belts or even getting good doesnt matter at all. the core aspect is self improvement. no need to compare yourself to others, but your current self to your former self, and improve yourself step by step continuously. thats what i believe martial arts is more about. more about the continual self improvement and being a better person step by step and going through the hard work and graft to improve yourself. dont need to be good at it, just need to be better than you was the day before or the week before continually. 

due to corona i got lazy and didnt train much as all the places shut down, plus i got a job now so on feet all day for hours, so my leg, especially my right, has got very stiff now and not as flexible, i suspect i may have injured it and never stretched it back out in the recent past perhaps for it to be this stiff, but i know how to work it back to flexibility as the things you learn stay with you. you always have the tools to maintain your body and get it back to where it was or where it never has been before. 

hell i do believe a few unexpected side effects of martial arts and self improvement is, making me think ahead more, made me change my fussy diet and i now eat everything and anything, to even getting a job which id never have done before. i guess physical self improvement also changes you mentally too.
