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

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

  • I use the Calm App - paying an annual subscription of roughly £24 on Google Pay, I'm now over three months into my current subscription- and I use the emergency relaxation meditations for almost six minutes; and a panic-relief one for ten minutes.

    It's done whenever I need instant relaxation, and does the job.
