What the Experts Say!
" Longitudinal study, clinical research suggest that about 15% move out of Autism Spectrum Disorder. From my clinical experience, I have found that physical exercise is far more effective in alleviating anxiety and depression in people with Asperger's syndrome than medication or psychological therapies. Unfortunately, those with Asperger's syndrome tend to think of themselves as clumsy, not suitable for team sports and preferring intellectual sedentary pursuits.
I would very much like to encourage your program as I think this will have great benefit, not only in terms of emotion management and fitness but also in clarity of thoughts and concentration. I note that your program is based in Victoria but I wonder if you have any thoughts of similar programs throughout Australia.

Jeremy, you are 1 of 10 to 15 percent of individuals who has managed to overcome the criteria of Asperger's through a successful career in life. "

What the research says!
Exercise Intervention
Research demonstrates that exercise interventions led to a 37% improvement in symptoms of ASD specifically behavioural and academic improvement.
A study published in 2018 looking at the effect on exercise on children with ASD found that those exposed to the exercise intervention twice a week for 48 weeks showed an important decrease in their Autism-related symptoms. The benefits were particularly pronounced in reductions in stereotypical behavioral pattern and improvements in verbal and nonverbal social communication skill.
The same study also reported that parent perceptions of their child's quality of life increased significantly in comparison to the control group. Exercise intervention can vary dependent on the severity of ASD.
