HI all,

I guess I am after some advice. We went out to an indoor play centre this morning with my son Mikey, nearly 4, (who has a developmental delay and characteristics of Autism). There was an incident on the trampoline where 3 other boys (maybe about 5years old) where kicking into Mikey. Mikey is so passive, he fell down into the fetal position and was just taking the beating from these kids. I had a gut feeling that something was wrong and went looking for Mikey....and saw this incident. I went off my nut and started yelling at these kids and basically rescued Mikey.

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and what people's thoughts are on enrolling into a Karate or self defence class. I am in Melbourne. Does anyone have advice or does anyone else send their child to a karate class that is good. Any advice would be very helpful.
