Yeah, I'm just hoping to find a place where I can work around some issues I've got. I'm one of many adults with High Functioning Autism Spectrum Syndrome, so when I encounter some kinds of problems I can't move on without someone pushing me through it. Three classes is ideal for me because of that, though once I get back into some semblance of shape I'll probably be able to work things out at home easier XD. Laurien, the family responsibilites I referred to are that my seven-year-old twin sons, David and Patrick, are in the autistic spectrum. They're both diagnosed as PDD-NOS, but aren't in the same place of the spectrum. If you go to the Photo Album section of the forums (the connection is in the red band at the top of each web page) you can see photos of them. Special needs karate has been a great benefit for my sons, and their teacher is absolutely wonderful. I've been bringing them twice a week for three years now, some classes running fairly smoothly, others with a meltdown by one or the other, but progress has definitely been made. I'm allowed on the floor with them, so although I'm in the dojang, I'm not in training but assisting. The other two days that I'm there are for me. I'm glad you're in the High Functioning position. I'm hoping my children reach that level, too. Yeah, I feel for your kids. I didn't find out until I was an adult. It's trying to get stuck in those analytical cycles where you know what the answer should be, but you can't get to it. Or the debilitating self-examination. My heart and thoughts go out to your boys.
