Pokemon Go and Autism: Is Taking Your Autistic Children to The Gym Better Than Letting Them Play Pokemon Go?

Kids who are on the spectrum have different needs be it from social needs to psychological needs. Most importantly, like anyone else they also have physical needs. A gym for children with autism and special needs would be among the best places we could ever consider to bring them to.

Most parents of kids with autism on the other hand have problems when it comes to where they can bring their kids especially those who have extreme cases, where they cannot really go outside in public because of regular and intensive melting. A mother, Rachel Brunsting, happened to be one of these parents and so she decided to build the "We Rock The Spectrum" gym for kids.

The "We Rock The Spectrum" gym is specially designed for kids on the spectrum and those with special needs. They have interesting swings, trampolines, and tunnels which kids love. The designs also stimulate the way kids think while still having the opportunity to socialize with other kids.

Some gyms like the one Rachel has set up are created in a different way to cater to the needs of other parents. There are gyms that also have a gym for the parents, who can also enjoy exercising while their kids enjoy their own gym.

Some parents are very thankful of Pokemon Go which has become a fun game for kids in the spectrum. However, taking your kids to the gym may sound even better because of more physical activities they can engae in. Being in the gym can keep them healthy because of the intensity of energy being used up and getting them into cardio vascular activities as well. Socially speaking, the gym can be as good as Pokemon Go.

Pokemon Go can also be addictive and can lead to some accidents and injuries if not played with precaution. If your kid gets addicted with the gym, what harm can he or she get from it? Perhaps nothing. Sure Pokemon Go is great but the gym would be a wise choice to consider as well.
