My Story - The Shift

From isolation to master joy

Incredible Potential.
That’s what I see for the future of Autism.

Unawareness

I only began to investigate during the last few years, once I had moved to London, if the reason for my sensations and copying mechanisms could be that I am autistic myself.

Having lived with undiagnosed ASD for about 40 years, I had learned to positively manage my daily life, psychologically as well as spiritually.

Sensory Overload - The trigger

I started to work at the multi-national corporation Vodafone in London, and had moved to this busy, cosmopolitan city, by choice; I became triggered in a new, and misaligning, uncomfortable, almost threatening way.
I was confronted with a new environment and stepped into an unfamiliar community; the newness, the unfamiliarity of it, threw me into blackouts. I could neither hear nor see, and was left with an indescribable pressure of fight or flight.
A sensory overload that left me disempowered and disassociated with a sudden deep irritation; which made me feel small, prompted me to withdraw into my own shell, until I refused to be part of the actual reality in front of me.

Incredible Potential. 

That’s what I see for the future of Autism.

Searching for Support
I found TM

Alongside, my work with a great therapist, as well as a powerful healer, I luckily came across Transcendental Meditation. Even after the first introductory day of my course, I realised that I felt less overwhelmed or anxiety-ridden, at my buzzing work place.
Committing myself to regular daily practice of transcendental meditation, twice a day for approximately 20 minutes, I not only felt supported but could sense, that through calming my mind on a regular basis, my sensations in the environment, even a busy meeting or event I had organised, I could make eye-contact and communicate and stay clear, despite the well-familiar symptoms. I learned to befriend my feelings and sensations, instead of wanting to run away from them and started to understand and see that I could channel the enormity of my feelings.
Transcendental Meditation – feeling more in control or having a calm, crystal clear mind.
