*meditation*-- has anyone with autism found meditation to be of benefit

aidie

A few months before my diagnosis I had started trying Meditation because I was sliding into depression.  I think my meditation, slowed, then stopped, my depression. My anxiety has also reduced.  I dont really know if it was because of the meditation or it is a coincidence. Afterall, I had just found out what the issue was. autism,  which in itself  is a really useful thing to know as you can read up on it.

Anyways - does anyone else practice Meditation on a regular basis ?

Has it helped your autism and/or  its associated depression, anxiety, shutdown, meltdowns etc ?

all replies will be most welcome

  • Yes - I believe that only autistics have enough focus to really meditate - I can astral project - totally out of body in a session. When an NT talks about meditating theyre just playing with it like children - they have no idea what it even means or feels like

    this is why I am asking ! could autistics actually be better at say focus based meditation  for example?

    In short,, is there a new type of meditation  more suitable for autistic candidates ? The only research I found applied Mindfulness Meditation to a range of Autistic people, which did help them  but could this be fined tuned/improved to return even better results ?   

    I should have done psychology at uni. I can never spell the feckin word, thats probably why !
