Quitting extra curricular clubs

Honestly I think it's part of being a near teenager and growing up, lots of kids, whatever their neurology stop wanting to do things they've enjoyed for years.

Maybe ask him if theres a different martial art he'd like to do? Or say he can give up swimming or Taekwondo but not both, unless he takes up another physical thing?

Good luck

Thanks TheCatWoman Yeah the thought had crossed my mind too that it might be an age thing rather than an asd associated thing. And that is fine it will just be persuading him to do something else exercise wise! x

Has he changed schools? Maybe a new peer group are doing different things and he's not found his place yet and needs, like a cat, to turn around 3 times before he can settle down. 

Yes he has changed school, just over a year ago and he's made 'friends' but prefers his own company and reading. I think he just enjoys the solace and being safe after the horrible experience at his previous school. And you're dead right he's exactly like a cat! His best friend still goes to his old school. They became friends in y1 and he's never really bonded with anyone else.
