I know it's very rare, but are there any athletes on here with autism/AS? I play football and run track myself, and I fell as if I'm one of the only people with AS that does that.
I used to play soccer in the local youth club from age 7 to 11.
I currently am in conditioning for football (hope to make the varsity!)
I want to do track and field, XC, soccer, and swimming as well. I love the feeling of that endorphin rush as well as "SUCCESS!". I bond a little bit with my football team, but I'm mainly just there for the competition and training. It's fun.
OP, there is one other guy on my FB team (as far as I know) with AS and speech impediments. He gets along fine with the other guys and looks pretty normal to me.
He's a sophomore, year younger than me. And yeah, I do feel like "So I'm the only weird guy here".
