The Other Autism

New Year Meditation for Autistics and Other Neurodivergent People


Listen Later

Welcome to this guided meditation, created with autistic and neurodivergent brains in mind.

Meditation is often depicted a certain way — sitting still, cross-legged, eyes closed. But here, we do things differently. Here, you are invited to make meditation your own. Maybe that means sitting in a way that feels natural to you. Maybe that means allowing gentle movement, like rocking or fidgeting. Maybe it means simply listening and letting the words wash over you while you garden or play with an animal friend.

This meditation is a space for acceptance. A space for softening. A space for replenishing what you need in this moment, whatever that may be.

Together, we'll breathe deeply, reconnect with our bodies, and visualize the flowing river of a new year — steady, constant, full of possibility. You are exactly as you need to be. You are whole, just as you are.

Take a deep breath, settle in however feels right, and let's begin!
