Hi All, im a mom of a ASD son whom also has Tourette's and ADHD. I am home schooling this year due to school mask mandates. My son was diagnosed two years ago, he's always frustrated, angry, and very high energy. He use to be happy go lucky and as time goes on he lost interest in everything but pokemon, minecraft, and drawing. Im a little lost, missing my happy little man.

Due to COVID, many kids have reduced physical activity which an issue.

Finding a video game that involves movement perhaps might be an option.

Or there are other ways to inspire physical activity while at home.

Here's an example search result on

KEEPING KIDS ACTIVE AT HOME

https://www.google.com/search?q=KEEPING+KIDS+ACTIVE+AT+HOME

Here is the Bing.com version for videos

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=KEEPING+KIDS+ACTIVE+AT+HOME

Bing.com search for videos results are better because you can preview the videos directly on this page without opening a video. Just hover your cursor over the video of interest and then if it says "preview", then you click on the speaker x button to hear the video preview.

I hope that helps as a starting point. Maybe if you look through it you'll get or find some inspiration that you are specifically looking for, because you know best what that is.

If you need some quick activity examples, here are some videos I like...

Level Up! (Video Game Workout for Kids) https://nicertube.com/eq34bp
You don't have to tap any buttons really...
Just have your kid do what the kid in the video is doing...
If the sound is bothersome, just turn off the volume.

If you do it as a family it's even more fun.
For more challenge, change the video play back speed to faster (or slower if needed).
