To be fair , he was probably never remembered and the post is asking for who ' s no longer remembered . It ' s looking for people who we could remember , but don ' t . <| sep |> Coordination issues made soccer , hockey and basketball absolutely frustrating to me , to the point where it wasn ' t fun and I always found ways to get out of it . Any sports that require constant coordination between releasing the ballpuckobject and recapturing it dribbling will probably challenge most vestibular and coordination issues common to almost all autistic people . I ' d stick with games that focus more on diligence , endurance , timing , and precision with more simple , repetitive motions Things like volleyball , tennis , polo , golf , track , crosscountry . Gridiron football may be feasible , but I wouldn ' t expect any autistic to be good at the motorplanning that makes gridiron fun and engaging to its players . Baseball may be a good middleground , but I ' d say it ' s better to find what he wants to do , and don ' t project any of your favorite and esteemed sports onto him . Unfortunately , there ' s a hierarchy of which sports are real men ' s sports , and fathers can often try and shove their kids into these sports rather than making objective decisions . It ' s actually kind of sexist intermale dominance , so don ' t do that .
