Deep breathing is very important, but it can be challenging to teach autistic or ADHD people the importance of practicing.
I was explained how “beneficial” deep breathing was my whole life! But it was through visuals that I began to understand what I was supposed to do.
Many times, people assume not following instructions = disobedience, when the reality is just plain old miscommunication.
By using visuals, practicing day to day (outside of emergencies), and patience, deep breathing will become a new tool in your toolbag.

As always, please share our resources to anyone in need.
