I do not have a child with autism, but I did experience bad postpartum anxiety after my second child was born, and the #1 thing my cognitive behavioural therapist recommended to me was practicing mindfulness. What I like about it is it doesn't clash with any religion or value system because, as you said, it isn't meditation. It really helped me dispel intrusive thoughts, and it was a much better option than "zoning out" and going numb when I felt the anxiety overwhelm me. It also helps me focus on my home environment and be more organized and in a better routine for my children. I liked your suggestions for how to practice mindfulness with children too!

Because teaching a two years old the meditation is hard. We have tried yoga with her and she does a few moves and hopefully combine the mindfulness and the yoga could make her so much more in peace.

I try very hard to show her that I'm taking deep breaths when I'm frustrated and I use my words to calmly talk to her.
