[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 456252, member: 1550"] After reading the post and all the answers, I have to say that I'm surprised he doesn't have an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. It appears that he doesn't really understand the social rules...even my Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son knows better than to stick his head through a net while other kids are practicing. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) runs in families big time. At any rate, I wouldn't blame him or even his impulsivity. It seems he doesn't realize why he is getting the kids upset. Social skills classes may help him...certainly won't hurt. Hopefully, he is able to understand what you told him and not repeat it next time. Children who are pretty clueless about social skills tend to learn them either by text book teaching or by observation (I think Sonic learned a lot by observation, but not all kids with social skills problems can do this). I agree that if a child is unable to handle a team sport, sports such as swimming, bowling, or cross country are far better. A lot of our kids can't do team sports. Another option: martial arts.
