Abstract

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents significant challenges, particularly in emotional regulation and anxiety management. Mindfulness and breathing exercises have emerged as promising interventions to address these issues. This review synthesizes recent research on the effectiveness of these practices for individuals with ASD, highlighting improvements in emotional regulation, anxiety reduction, and overall well-being. Findings indicate that mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) and breathing exercises can be beneficial, especially when tailored to the unique needs of individuals with ASD. However, variability in outcomes underscores the necessity for further research to optimize and adapt these interventions effectively.
