Seamus' Personal Interests
Video Summary
Seamus's mother describes his intense and restricted interest in structured systems like subway lines and street configurations. This restricted interest in addition to his difficulty with gross motor skills impair Seamus's ability to engage with his peers in sports and other developmentally appropriate games.
"He is not interested in playing soccer, he is not interested in playing baseball or basketball, it is very difficult for him to ride a bike...he is interested in more intellectual things like the planets, or the maps... "
— Mom of Seamus
