Cammom, I could write exactly the same post literally point-for-point just changing 8 for 7. One of DS' problems is he can't follow the ball sports visually, and partially that and partially inflexibility and partially the not "good" aspect; he doesn't want to get anywhere near it. So, recess is a bit of a loss when those are the activities.
Kinda like mon's #2, I emphasize that DS is making a conscious choice to not participate as opposed to having a victim mindset.
He is also experimenting with outside groupings like scouts.
