Résumé :	Autistic children and young people generally take part in less physical activity than their typically developing peers. As a result, they are at risk of becoming overweight and suffering ill health (eg heart disease and diabetes). There are also known benefits in taking regular physical exercise in terms of stress reduction and enhancing both physical and mental wellbeing. Research has often focused on the effects of physical exercise, but there has been less focus on the factors that hinder or promote autistic young people from taking part in physical activity. The authors of this paper, who are students at Farleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey, therefore conducted a literature review to examine these factors. This paper provides ideas on how staff and parents alike can encourage and enable more autistic children and young people to engage in physical activities.
