Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multi-faceted disorder that is pervasive across sensory, behavioural, emotional, social, and motor dysfunction. Previous research suggests that up to 50% of children diagnosed with ASD demonstrate motor difficulties. The inability to perform complex motor movements often leads to a preference for simple and sedentary activities in an effort to protect their self-esteem. Furthermore, social communication difficulties could significantly impair their ability to engage in group sports and form peer relationships.  The complex difficulties that children on the spectrum face result in a reduced activity profile. Whilst the effects of exercise on well-being are well established, research has proven that exercise also reduces self-stimulatory and aggressive behaviours, and improve attention span for those on the spectrum. The Bright FACES Sports and Recreation Group aimed to provide a structured environment for children and adolescents with ASD to engage in group sports and complex motor movements such as resistance training, plyometric, balance, and coordination. Results from this case study highlighted an increase in not only motor abilities but quality of life by enhancing individual’s functional movements and building their self-esteem. Anecdotal evidence reported an increase in confidence and the creation of peer group friendships. This presentation argues for the inclusion of sports programmes to be included as part of the therapeutic planning for children and adolescents on the spectrum.
