And so
One of the things that we know about children on the spectrum is that they have a low muscle tone.
throughout their whole lives and being a strength conditioning coach, my first thought is like, what does that look like in their old age?
And if they have a low muscle tone, that might also mean that they have a low b bone density and that also means that
Maybe by the age of thirty or forty, if they take a fall.
their bone density is really low, what does that look like for breaks?
And then if they have low muscle tone, what does that look like for recovery?
Are they ever able to recover?
And this is sort of my ADHD brain going down a rabbit hole of all the problems that a child could have.
And so this is a problem that we need to solve.
And so I did um we've coached probably four kids on the spectrum.
And our goal is, yes, to get them moving.
Um, and we've found that that has been really helpful in terms of
the dopamine and orbinephrine that we talked about.
But one of the other things that we found is that if we focus on getting the kids that are on the spectrum strong and not like
Powerlifting strong.
But just
just strong in terms of like maybe they're just squatting a thirty five pound kettlebell for three sets of ten.
Not only does that do wonders for their confidence,
But they're also just better able to handle life in general in terms of being able to move, being able to go out into the world and not have the issues that I just kind of rambled on about uh later in life.
