Sit-down-and-be-still mindfulness exercises do not suit me. My busy autistic brain makes it impossible to relax – my inner critic keeps yelling at me for not being Zen enough.

For the longest time, I thought I was doing mindfulness wrong. I thought it meant a seated meditation for 30 minutes. I couldn’t even make it to three minutes without feeling agitated. My busy autistic brain made it impossible for me to relax. If anything, my inner critic kept yelling at me for not being Zen enough.
