Hi everyone, really new here.
I was just wondering if anyone had any advice or experience of a pre-teen suddenly wanting to quit all their extra curricular clubs? My son (11) has ASD, loves, trains, fixing things, reading and gaming.
He has recently quit one club due to no longer enjoying it and some bullying which I totally understand. Now he wants to quit Taekwondo, which has been a great confidence booster to him as a result of bullying and he's been doing really well. He doesn't have any firm friends but seems to get on ok and his teacher is excellent and really supportive.
I'm finding it hard to strike a balance of managing his overwhelm, listening to his needs but also trying to make sure he doesn't quit everything at the drop of a hat. He also is resistant to do any exercise so I'm keen for him to keep up with Taekwondo and swimming, his only clubs.
Has anyone else had this balancing act? I've asked him about alternative clubs/exercise but he's not at all interested.
