I have found minecraft to be a much more effective social lubricant so far than sports, LOL!

Just to clarify, the goal at the moment is to find an activity that DS8 enjoys sufficiently to expend some effort to improve his abysmal coordination and strength, and get his exercise and sensory needs met. He doesn't have to be good at it, just good enough not to embarrass himself of a regular basis. Because that's what appears to be happening in PE class and recess in school. Ie sports are so far away from being a social tool right now, they are a social liability.

If he found something that he has the skills and enjoyment for to pursue seriously (not competitively), and that would give him some kudos with his classmates even though he'll always remain useless at soccer, that would be gravy!
