Why I love sports

Sports has colored my life every day for the past sixteen years, I grew up going to all sorts of arenas with my dad. He would bring me to his own handball matches, to see Rosenborg and also at hockey games before I even could walk, and I sat there and watched it all form my stroller. I have played handball, football, a tiny bit of hockey and I have danced. All this have made me the person I am socially and mentally. I think you learn a lot by doing sports, you learn how to win and lose and in team sports (which are my favorites) you learn how to play together as a team. Sports is a gathering thing and I bring people together, through TV and radio thousands of people watch the same games and cheers for the same teams. You can have a conversation with a complete stranger and he or she would have made herself an opinion about sports. It is also a great way to keep in shape and be healthy, I know there’s a lot of training centers around the country but a lot of what is good with sports is the fact that you have someone to train with and the team spirit you feel when you lose and win together. You learn a lot about being unselfish and cooperating with others but also when to take your own chances when you get them. And last but not least it’s fun while you are doing it!

Would I be able to take care of a child with asbergers ?

If you get a child with asbergers you have to give up a lot of your own interests and that might be a difficult thing to do. On the other hand this is your child and you have a responsibility towards the child which means that you have to take care of it. It might be hard to spend so much of your time and energy focused on giving the child what he/she needs that it can be easy to lose yourself while doing it. You’ll miss going out with friends, interest you have and you might have to put your career to a halt. Even if I would lose a these things I don’t think I would be able to give my child away, I won’t say I have all the qualities that you should have to take care of a kid like that, but who does? I don’ think we can imagine how it is before we have spent some time with people with this condition and it will be hard to learn how his/her mind works but eventually I think I’ll get used to being around my child. The fact that you’re often two people who is sharing the task also makes it easier to deal with. Then you can arrange that someone can have a night of sometimes and I think that would be an enormous help. But not only your partner but also the rest of the family is important for this to work.
