The key purpose of Zeal for Self is to consider the value of current psychological measures and interventions for people with Autism, and incidentally ADHD. Key among these is Mindfulness/meditation. Also EMDR, where eye movement may be different in ASD. Then there’s ACT which I am less skeptical of but struggled with over months where my own conflation of “mind” with “self” caused me to boggle at a phrase equating mind with language. CBT may undo defense mechanisms an autist relies on to function. Positive Psychology interventions are ones I have more hope of, and Seligman’s related Learned Optimism. Then there is the medication question.
