>>there are rules for gymnastics.>>

Gymnastics has been a great way for Casey to get some structure in her life.
She's learned so much more than just gymnastics too. You know, the usual
teamwork, discipline, overcoming stage fright, etc. And the kind of full
body movements they use are so good for calming her down and helping her
focus.

The gym we go to is very aware when a girl gets overwhelmed and needs to
take a break. They have been very supportive of Casey's quirks and unusual
learning style. She did drop it once when she felt burned out, but has
picked it up again with renewed vigor. This was the same kid who decided not
to go school part-time because it would interfere with her life too much.
For Casey, unschooling has been the key to opening so many paths.

Life is good.
