UK -- Teenage black belt Ethan Ward should be an inspiration to all parents with autistic children - according to his karate instructor.
The 15-year-old, who has Asperger Syndrome, successfully completed his black belt grading in Karate last week.
And his sensei John Robertson has been so impressed with the Ethan’s determination to succeed that he recently awarded the Bridgehall teenager the club's Outstanding Achievement Award.

What an inspiration. My 10 year old daughter has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and I have just enrolled her in Karate. Every parent in her Social Skills group (8 of them) have all had their Aspies in Karate and had all positive things to pass on....what a blessing.
Thank you for this comment; I am truly happy for you daughter! May you find many fine moments within these wonderful arts of ours. Keep kicking!
