Martial art is a form of exercise and fighting that requires discipline and concentration- which sometimes are hard for an autistic child to maintain without additional assistance. But no amount of preparedness can inform you of how hard it will be for the child to adapt. As a form of stimulation, it teaches the necessary discipline for the child to excel; and gives the child a sense of self. The author states that martial art is a good form of teaching advancement to autistic children as they grow. I like the author's explanation of the benefits of martial art; as a form of exercise, philosophy, and behavioral lessons for the autistic child.I think it would be a good idea to give the explanation orally directly to the child.
