Mindfulness for ASD has been adapted to combine useful educational content and techniques, with a variety of shorter mindfulness meditation practices. Mindfulness is explored through a curious and approach, to support and embrace your autistic identity. Individual differences and autistic characteristics vary from person to person. With guidance and support, you are encouraged to find what works for you, by adapting and tailoring practices to suit your needs.

This is a space where you can find comfort in the common connections with others, while noticing and celebrating your own differences and needs. Each individual is valued and respected, and encouraged to find their own way of making the most of all the information and skills shared. No practice is compulsory and participation in discussions is entirely optional, with each person’s feelings and needs respected at all times.

In these sessions, the needs of attendees will be carefully and intuitively addressed which means it becomes a safe, social setting for many autistic people. You can just come and listen, and you don’t have to have your camera on if you don’t want to.

Each session will use a variety of teaching techniques and include frequent breaks. Group sessions last an hour and a half and individual session are 50 minutes long. The weekly timetable and structure of each session is provided in advance. All course materials are made available, including any educational content, worksheets and audio recordings.
