Undiagnosed autism is still autism

I also invite those to take part, who are aware of their symptoms and traits and they have a therapist reference, but failed to receive their “official” diagnosis because of the difficulty of getting one.

The average time to receive a professional autism diagnosis in many countries could take 6-12 months. A private assessment could cost 400-1200 GBP.

By filling out the survey you are joining a movement to share your experience anonymously and the data generated from your answers are valid and can be used for further incentive to pursue academic research.
Thank you for joining!

Let’s unite!

My story is not the only one. I only intend to become a voice of this healing experience with the practice of Transcendental Meditation. There are so many wonderful people who are already advocating for making the world – for those who live on the spectrum – a more rightful, more livable place. They all share their journey with the intention to support.

Who is the survey intended for?

The journey I have been through exists already in other autistic TM meditators, only that they have not been asked yet. Some of them might not be aware of their own Autism, some might be or even diagnosed already. My intention with this survey is to reach out to all who are aware of their Autistic traits especially if they live with sensory overload, or diagnosed, or their diagnosis is in progress and they have been meditating for a while.

We all think that the right support at the right time makes such a difference...
