Neural Exercises for Autism

The book’s exercises are easy to follow, motivating, and thought-provoking, and they kept me engaged all throughout…. I would recommend this book to autistic individuals, as well as therapists, educators, and anyone interested in innovative approaches to mental health and self-growth.– “Helen: The Journal of Human Exceptionality”
If you often feel stuck, rigid, anxious, or incapable of connection, this accessible introduction to polyvagal theory provides a practical starting point.–Paul Micallef, creator of Autism From The Inside, YouTube channel
Inderbitzen does an excellent job walking us through how the nervous system plays a central role in the way autistic people experience and connect with the world. This work is vital in guiding autistic people to better understand their own reactions and physiological responses to the environment and other people. Using practical and relatable approaches, the reader learns to appreciate and apply Polyvagal Theory to support mental health and relationships.–Kristin Sohl, MD, FAAP, founder and executive director of ECHO Autism Communities, professor of pediatrics, University of Missouri Health Care
