Crisc, he does athletics outside of school - soccer in fall, baseball in spring. But the leagues in our area are so huge he doesn't end up playing with classmates - and most of the kids go to other schools. He connects with other kids through sports so it's really the social benefit from the school gym class that he'll miss out on - not necessarily learning athletic skills.
Val and Dottie thanks for the validation - I need it to pump up my advocacy muscles. I do suspect that there is a PA standard for gym and I'll look into it. (sarcasm alert) We wouldn't want his BMI to go up and contribute to a public health crisis...
