Asperger's makes life interesting

It also makes life difficult. Xander needs to be exercising and so do I, so I purchased Zumba.com dvd set. It's fun and I'm going to like doing it.

He had a meltdown over even the thought of using a dance/exercise method. He told me he couldn't do it, I tried to coax and when I turned around to talk to him again he was gone. Didn't answer when I called, wasn't in his room or the bathroom or the back yard when I went looking. Finally found him in my room sitting on the floor in the corner, hiding like one of the dogs does during a storm and looking no less panicked than they do.

We've settled on me doing Zumba during our exercise periods with him doing regular exercises. I'm looking into a dvd/online home school martial arts class for him that might be more his speed.
