I have an Autistic Son and he loves going for his rides with RDA on Saturday mornings it fills him full of confidence he loves to trot and do various exercises and the girls/ladies who run it are brilliant, as he attends a special school they introduced him to RDA and we looked out for extra classes. He is not that keen on riding bikes however I do try and give him gentle nudges now and again into having a go, he gets spooked and his coordination is a bit awry so I don’t want to put him off by pushing him unnecessarily.
I have taken him up to Llandegla with the rest of my family for walks and he does not like it because of all the bikes, now his speech it coming on hopefully we can find out more about what it is about the bikes that makes him uncomfortable. However is common for people with ASD not to like crowded or busy places. Saying that he loves centre parks and is not bothered about bike there, so its a bit of a mystery in some respects.
