Everything The Same - Everything Different

Autism - Everything the Same. Buddhism - Everything Different. My Autism has often clashed with my Buddhism in reference to the Buddhist philosophy of Impermanence. As a Buddhist, I recognize and accept that impermanence is a valid part of life. As an Autistic person, impermanence, or change, has been a challenge. This session is how I've incorporated my need for predictability and sameness with the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence.

Very relatable for me .Thank you for this session. 👍🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for explaining this Joe. It's interesting to note how people with autism tend to prefer sameness and people with ADHD tend to prefer novelty. I'm curious how this plays out for people with both ADHD and who are also on the autism spectrum. This gives me something to think about
Love and blessings to you

So interesting. I will pass it on to where it may give encouragement. 🙏🏻💞

Learning about the difficulties experienced by an autistic Buddhist helps to shed light on my own. Thank you

Thank you for this illuminating talk. It has helped me see how a client might work with the differences he experiences with two other teachers he works with who's methods differ from his and often create tension and stress for him.
