Jonathan Riding His Bike
After SIX MONTHS of back breaking work, (basically manually keeping my hands on his feet so they stayed on the pedals, while hunched over!) Jonathan is finally riding on his own!
WOOHOO!!!
After reading research showing that Cycling reduced tremors in Parkinson patients and increased motor function, I felt that it was imperative that Jonathan learn how to ride a bike. While Autism isn't Parkinson's disease, they have a lot of similarities, and I felt either way it couldn't possibly hurt.
