Outcome studyPreliminary✓ Source-checked📍 United States
In plain English. Therapists working with autistic children tried a simple breathing exercise meant to balance activity across both sides of the brain, aiming to reduce their own burnout. They reported feeling more focused, resilient, and energetic afterward. This is a small, self-rated pilot with no control group or objective measures.

What they found

A hemispheric-integration breathing exercise (Over Energy Correction) was rated by therapist-subjects as helpful for mind-body awareness, distractibility, focus, resiliency, and energy levels.
