This series of reflective accounts by autistic Buddhists explores the benefits that Buddhist practice can bring for autistic individuals, and outlines how Dharma teachers, centre directors and meditation group leaders can help ensure group sessions are truly autism-sensitive. Including a wide range of international contributors discussing aspects of the autistic experience and the impact of Buddhism on their lives, this is a thought-provoking and often moving investigation of the intersect between autism and spiritual practice. The deeply personal accounts of the positive impact that Buddhist practice has had on relationships, social interactions, sensory overload, mental health and wellbeing, provide an opportunity to find out more about Buddhism and the support that it can offer to the autistic community.
Dr Chris Jarrell is a retired social work lecturer and counsellor with a very late diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. He has been a practicing Buddhist for thirty years.
