Autism + Exercise = Higher Functioning Children?
I know the importance of exercise. I also know that it should be part of our daily lives. But why is it so important for a child with autism to exercise? According to Daniel Hawthorne , ... it is my heart-felt conviction that physical activity of some kind is vital to helping autistic children, like me at one time, function. By observation in my own life, I have long felt strongly that aerobic exercise of any kind played a valuable role in my being able to function on a relatively high level as an autistic child and now as well.
