Martial arts are great for kids with aspergers - or people in general in my opinion. There is a thread started about this - a good read if you want to get started.

A couple book recommendations
By John Smitty - March 22nd, 2010
So many books, so little time...
I just wanted to recommend two books I like regarding Aspergers --
My favorite that I really liked because it helped me personally is : Look me in the eye.
The other is Finding Kansas.
Meds and Aspergers - Paxil, Zoloft, etc. -- what do you think?
By John Smitty - March 22nd, 2010
I thought this was a good post too - what are you experieces with meds and Aspergers ?
Aspergers & Handshakes
By John Smitty - March 22nd, 2010
There is an interesting discussion here at Wrong Planet about handshakes and people with Aspergers / AS - do you find handshakes odd or awkward, or other social gestures?
AS and Mood Swings and Gullibility
Check out this thread, it talks about the concept of how people are influenced by other peoples moods. In general I know this is 'normal', but it seems to me that AS people may be somewhat more impacted. What do you think?
