[QUOTE="Steely, post: 63328, member: 3301"] Oh yea........I have had this with my difficult child and push ups. He literally freaks if I tell him to do push ups. I finally realized that he literally cannot figure out how to be coordinated enough to do push ups, and the fact that all the other kids in PE can do them, and he cannot, is what freaks him out. I would be willing to bet that is what is going on with your son. It is not the actual act, or that it really hurts, it is that he knows he can't do them like other kids, and it brings up all that embarrassment from school. If, as the doctor is suspecting, he is AS, his lack of coordination in doing the jumping jacks is telling. This is quite a classic sign. That being said, my difficult child was very uncoordinated in some things, and great in others - and he was not actually diagnosed with AS, but rather was just on the cusp. So, you never know.
