Fellow autistics/educators!
Hi I'm an autistic physical educator and when I'm watching my peers teach partner skills like passing, throwing, catching, they say to make eye contact to be sure you don't hit your partner and they're ready to receive the ball.
I, and many other autistics, don't partake in eye contact because it is uncomfortable. As a kid when I played sports my accommodation was that my teammates would yell my name or their own name to indicate they were open and ready.
I'm curious if anyone has any other solutions/accommodations I could share with my classmates and colleagues to prevent hitting people with balls. Reblog and let me know!!
