Experiencing Autistic Joy through Mindfulness

Autistic joy often manifests as moments of mindfulness, where the individual finds profound happiness in sensory experiences. For instance, the tactile pleasure of reaching into a box of smooth, wet nectarines highlights how simple sensations can evoke joy. The speaker emphasizes that these glimmers, or small moments of delight, are unique to each person and can be found in ordinary activities, such as interacting with nature or discovering a well-shaped stick. Through such experiences, one can feel deeply connected to their surroundings, turning everyday moments into sources of joy.
