Does meditation help kids with autism? Have you tried it on them?

Meditation can be very relaxing for anyone, including people with autism. It may alleviate anxiety and stress, which can help with certain symptoms. For example, if I'm relaxed I can usually deal with sudden changes pretty well, but if I'm anxious I can't. For people with high levels of anxiety, meditation and other relaxation techniques can be very helpful. But like anything, it is not helpful for *everyone* with an autism spectrum disorder.
