Por: Keegan Fleigner

Hi, I’m Keegan Fleigner. When I was in first grade, I was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. Since that time, sports have played a huge role in changing my life. So I want to show the world how all kinds of sports can help all kinds of people with all kinds of mental and emotional challenges.  Welcome to Sports on the Spectrum. The purpose of Sports on the Spectrum is to provide a forum for athletes and coaches with social, emotional and/or developmental health conditions (like Autism, ADHD, Bi-Polarity, Depression, etc.) where sports has been life changing in addressing or assisting these types of conditions. I want to connect with and help others who also have conditions that aren’t well understood, and who share my love of playing and/or coaching sports, to talk about experiences on and off the playing field. I created Sports on the Spectrum not only to tell my story, but to share our stories. It’s my hope that together we can encourage more people with these conditions to try sports! And that perhaps we can help others to better understand all of the great things that people with Autism, ADHD, Depression, etc. can do - including playing or coaching sports. Hosted on Acast.
