Can Meditation Help Manage Autistic Traits?

I see that my father displays some patterns of a psychiatric illness,

Autism,

And I fear that I could have his traits as well.

Could meditation help me manage these autistic traits somehow?

I think it's very low the possibility that you will experience autism or you will experience symptoms.

Autism tends to manifest itself when you're little and there are cases in which autism actually does go away when you become an adult.

But I think it's very rare for symptoms of autism to not manifest itself when you're little but start to appear when you're an adult.

Therefore,

Since the possibility of you manifesting autism at your adult age is very low,

I don't think you need to worry about it.

And if it does manifest itself,

Then you need to go and treat it.

If you are able to maintain an equanimity of mind and peace of the mind through meditation,

Then even if such symptoms start to appear,

You can either mitigate or prevent it or try to live with it in a peaceful way.

So what I'm trying to say is that I don't think you need to worry about this.
