Listening To Autism Podcast

Mindfulness is an evidence based approach to rewiring the brain. It is known to reduce anxiety producing chemicals, increase good chemicals and assist in quieting the anxious, overstimulated brain. For this reason, I began using it in the treatment of autism some years ago. In this episode, we cover techniques for individuals who are high functioning and those who are more challenged on the spectrum and look at the research and what it says about how mindfulness can help. Finally, I provide the listener with two examples of powerfully effective mindfulness techniques they can begin using tomorrow to help calm melt downs and begin teaching emotional regulation.
