As the father of a 9 year old autistic, I wouldn't put him in a situation where he is not ready to compete, especially in a sport where he can be hurt like baseball. I will play catch with him but there is no way I'm going to stick a coach in a situation where he has to explain everything to someone who is not necessarily going to understand.
That said the coach is way out of line. If it wasn't this autistic boy, then it was going to be someone else who is not gifted. We had a boy on our team when I was in little league who could never get a hit and several others who weren't very good either. My father was the coach and they played in every game. Nobody ever said anything to those kids because everyone knew the way it went. The game is not going to hinge on one player. When that boy who couldn't hit finally got a hit, you never heard such a yell of excitement coming from out team. It must have made him feel a mile high. I think my son is going to be a good runner and when he is in high school I will get feedback from the coach on how he can be integrated on the team. It will be hard because I'm not sure if he will be able to follow the courses.

I think this situation calls for lots and lots of antifreeze.

I would say it entirely depends on the person. Unless the job is sports related. Some kids take to the team concept, some don't. Sports will build character in some kids, in others it will do nothing and they still turn out alright. |
