Seems now is a good time to report a bit of family stories past. Years and years ago when a team of experts took two long days to diagnose my daughter with AS, they were not hopeful she would do much beyond high school, never do well in a physical program demanding bilateral coordination, never escape her SID, move beyond social incompetence to a pattern of getting along within and beyond herself. Hmmm. Years of intervention and tons of hard work on her part and today she is preparing to graduate from university, after which she will go to work (gainfully employed) in public policy at the state capital. Should she choose, she could return to a swimming pool at anytime to swim the long distances she swam in school sports or hit the volleyball court for a game based on the skills she proved she could master when she played on traveling teams and in high school. Those who tell you people with ASD cannot, do not know of what they speak.
