Autism Extreme Sports - Parasailing

Kids with Autism going surfing? That's old news.

Two teens with Autism from Brick, NJ have gone parasailing for the past four years. "The family has found that parasailing is a way for their two children to experience the bigger world."

I went parasailing on a vacation with my husband many years ago, before kids- and I was terrified. Yet, at the same time I can totally see where this could be an experience that Alex (who has Autism) would love. Last year on our Disney trip he loved the Soarin' ride at Epcot which simulates flying through the skies over California.

Check out this video & news article of the Gallagher teens parasailing:
