Searching for Sufism for neurodivergent healing, spiritual growth autism ADHD, or inner peace ND adults? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores Sufi principles with Salima Adelstein, Co-President/Academic Dean at University of Sufism, Sufi Mystic/Master Healer, and founder of Farm of Peace retreat center. With 25+ years guiding students, Salima shares her journey from meditation to Sufism's heart-centered path—shattering barriers like shame, ego voices, and negative external whispers for authentic self-acceptance.

Discover:

• Sufi "treasure hunt" for ND strengths: Embracing uniqueness as divine gifts (mirror exercise: "When God created me, He created beauty").


• Discernment: Tuning into inner guidance (divine/ego/negative voices) vs. modern psychology/physical health noise.


• Overcoming shame/trauma: Heart barriers dissolve for joy, compassion, and purpose—integrating Sufi remembrance with daily calm.


• Spiritual journey start: Community/teachers essential; no solo climbs—find your GPS for healthier lives (e.g., food sensitivities, toxic people fade).


• Her book: A Drop in the Ocean of Love—core message: Embody your essence, overflow love to transform the world.

Ideal for autistic/ADHD young adults feeling "different" or stuck—Salima's tools nurture resilience, wisdom, and belonging. Free gift: "Five C's of Inner Truth" at sufiuniversity.org.
