Using Mindfulness Meditation Can Now Help Kids With Autism
Researchers at Rutgers University found that kids with autism can avoid having to take drugs by using the meditation practice of mindfulness. The researchers worked with a small group of high-functioning adolescents with autism.
The kids spent 8 weeks learning the basics of mindfulness, which involves focusing on the body, their thoughts and emotions while doing mindfulness breathing.
They found that the kids improved what’s called their executive function, which includes controlling their emotions, having a greater self-control, increasing their ability to focus and also have a flexibility to adapt to changing situations.
So…for kids with autism, they now have the ability to tap into a cost-effective method that’s totally free of side effects to help them navigate the world around them. A great deal!
