Hi Ruu,
ReplyDeleteSaw your blog via a comment link from Liams Part Time Grappler blog. This is a great training diary!
I am very interested in your blog tag-line where you mention autism. My son has ASD and suffers dyspraxia as well, he is only 9 but I'd love to get him into Grappling. Would you be prepared to comment / blog about how your autism affects your grappling? Obviously it is a disorder on a spectrum with varying degrees of severity and I have no idea whereabouts on the spectrum your condition puts you, I just have a genuine interest in this.
Great blog, keep it up.
Graham
Hi Graham
ReplyDeleteI never expected anybody to ever read this blog, let alone comment on it!
I'll write a proper response when I get the chance over the weekend.
Thanks for the interest.
Hello again, Graham
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you're still interested in chatting about autism!
Maybe it'd be easier via email
Whatever you wish, really
Take care
I am happy to discuss via email if you like (cookster_328[at]hotmail.com) but I think it would be a great topic to put "out there" for the wider grappling world. I would be happy for you to write a guest post for my blog (anonymous if you like) if you would prefer to keep it off your own blog for personal reasons?
ReplyDeleteof course as this is a very personal issue, I totally understand if you don't want to publicise your own thoughts on it. As I said, I just have a genuine interest because of my own son.
Again, sorry for a lack of replies!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously mulling this over, but I tend to take longer than most people to formulate my plans.
I intend to reply with as much detail as possible, but I have to try and not be too long-winded, as is my usual mode of explaining ASD stuff.
Just a short response: without doubt ease your son into grappling! It will help increase his overall stability in many areas of his life.
If he's anything like me, once he's into something he will study it to a ridiculous degree!
This can only be a good thing for the routine and detail hungry mind of a young ASD kid.
Ruu,
ReplyDeleteCheers for replying. I have added you to my blog roll and my google reader and would genuinely love to hear your thoughts mate.
All the best,
Graham
