[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 269875, member: 1550"] My son is in the Special Olympics. It is SO GOOD for the kids and they make such a huge deal out of their events. My son has gone to the finals almost every time. I'm surprised more parents of our kids don't try the Special Olympics. I think many of the kids are on the austism spectrum, even high functioning. It's a way for the kids to learn to compete and have good sportsmanship without them needing to be great athletes (although some kids are) and they get the same attention other athletes get. But my son is fine hanging out with some kids who obviously have special needs. He gets along as well with them as with some higher functioning Aspies and typical kids. I think it's a great program. They understand "differently wired." [/QUOTE]
