Autism & Buddhism Together

This session is about how Zen Buddhism helped me navigate the world as an Autistic Adult. In this session, I speak of my difficulty, challenges and suffering as an Autistic person and how eventually I discovered Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism assisted me in understanding myself and how I interact with my environment and other people. Zen taught me a new outlook and philosophy of life that helped me adapt to situations, communicate, process emotions and take a new perspective on thought and thinking.

You said much and well
which I feel must help a lot
Now’s my time to tell
Thank-you, sir, for all you say
Comfort bring me as it may

I am in a relationship with someone who seems to have many of the traits you describe. Your teachings help me so much to understand them. Thank you. Many blessings to you.

Very helpful to hear someone else's experience and path, it helps me move towards understanding my own. In gratitude

Very interesting for me who lately has thought that I could be autistic. I fit all that was said in at the beginning and will save this. I’m probably ADHD one of my daughters has said recently and that fits. Seems like there’s a lot of it about recently!

Interesting application of Buddhist principles. Food for thought! Thank you.
