A polyvagal-informed pathway to your most joyful, easeful autist experience.

Historically, autism has been viewed as an immutable condition, and those who live with the diagnosis considered doomed to perpetually struggle to connect with others or develop flexibility. But with the advent of strengths-based approaches to autism, and the redefinition of the disorder as a spectrum of symptoms and manifestations, perspectives are changing.

In this revolutionary self-care book, autist clinician Sean Inderbitzen presents exercises for the reader that focus on retraining the nervous system to more easily access a state of safety. These polyvagal-informed exercises draw on the intuitive wisdom of the autist body to increase the reader's capacities for connection and flexibility, all while celebrating the inherent strengths of autists. Neurology, mindfulness, somatic resources, and other fields are tapped to create these powerful practices for a more joyful, easeful, and connected autist experience.
