Rabbit CohenHey #autistic folks, fellow autistic person here! Does anyone have resources that might be helpful for a swim instructor who's working with a nonverbal student? Or resources for tools for the student's parent? It's not for me, for someone I know, but I told her I'd ask. #autistic #ActuallyAutistic
Autistic Book Club@BathysphereHat Hey! Autistic Mum of Autistic kids here...
Does the Autistic child actually want to learn to swim?
We had an enthusiastic swim teacher who gave my kids private lessons, her motto 'I can teach ANYONE to swim'.
Except she couldn't teach one of my kids, it was bad for everyone.
Now my child is older they would love to learn, but they were too young at the time.
I wish I had stopped lessons as soon as it was clear it wasn't fun, no amount of strategies worked.
Just sharing 💛
