🩺 PELVIC HEALTH: What do you want to know?

Hi everyone - I'll be interviewing an endometriosis specialist/gynecologic surgeon on the channel soon.

What questions would you like me to ask? What do you want to know about endometriosis/PMDD/perimenopause/menopause?

Let me know if the comments please! 👇

If you’ve been curious about my Connection Groups but felt unsure, here’s something important to know:

You can keep your camera and mic off the entire time.
You’ll never be called on unless you raise your hand.
Listening quietly is always welcome.

These groups were intentionally designed as low-pressure entry points for autistic adults who want meaningful connection without small talk or social performance. We use pre-selected discussion questions and dive straight into real topics like communication, burnout, relationships, identity, and more.

I know joining something new can feel overwhelming. I also know how lonely it can be to want connection but not know how to find it.

If you’re needing a gentler way to start the new year after whatever 2025 was, this might be a supportive place to begin.

2026 Connection Groups start Tuesday, January 6.

We meet Tuesdays at 10 AM CT and Wednesdays at 12 PM & 5 PM CT.
There are still a few spots open.

👉 Here's the link if you'd like to join us: mots.circle.so/checkout/build-community

Questions are always welcome.

Happy New Year!

💛 Taylor

I wanted to let you know about a simpler way to access my on-demand classes and community - especially if you’ve been wanting support without having to decide which resource to start with.

All of my current classes are now available through a single monthly subscription:

👉 Autistic Inertia & Demand Avoidance
👉 Meltdowns 101
👉 How to Unmask (normally $87 on its own)
👉 Calm Reset

Instead of purchasing them separately, you can access everything for $39/month.

The subscription also includes entry into the online community - a space for autistic adults to:

🌿 Message each other directly
🌿 Ask questions and share lived experience
🌿 Exchange resources and ideas

Everything is on-demand, self-paced, and designed to be returned to whenever needed. No deadlines, no catching up, no pressure to engage more than feels right.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, this is meant to remove some of that friction - one place, one subscription, access when you need it.

If it’s helpful, you can learn more here: mots.circle.so/checkout/learn

With care,

Taylor

🤩 Now available: My interview with Rosie Acosta on Headspace!

I am so honored to have been Radio Headspace's first interview over autism. We cover topics like how to support the autistic individuals in your life, the importance of autistic community, how to navigate upsetting conversations happening in the media, and more.

It would mean so much to me if you would show this interview some love via likes, comments, & shares so that Headspace will continue to create more autistic resources and support!

Here are the links to the interview on different platforms:

It’s here! The 10th edition of the Big Autistic Resource Guide is officially live - and it’s FREE to download.

I originally created this guide to spotlight autistic-owned businesses and creators. A few years (and hundreds of your submissions) later, it’s grown into a 48-page powerhouse of books, soaps, services, art, coaching, tools, and more. Basically: if you want to support the autistic community, especially with holiday gifts, this is the place to start.

Two things:

1) New MOTS videos will now post on Wednesdays at 2 PM CT (previously 3 PM CT)

and

2) Each new video will be followed by a Mental Health Check-In. This will be a livestream where comments, chat, and ads are turned off. I will gently guide viewers through mindfulness practices designed to help you feel centered and grounded.

My hope is that together we can collectively learn to slow down and be present. I invite you to join me and stay curious about how your life might change with a simple practice such as this.

Here are this week's links:

New video: Subconscious Ways Autistic Women Mask (Wed at 2 PM CT) https://youtu.be/hLi2fEaOgqU?si=4qLKV...

Mental Health Check In (Wed @ 2:22 PM CT)

If you can't join live, it's not a problem at all. Everything will be immediately available for replay.

Sending love and good vibes,

Taylor

Loneliness can be quite common during the holidays, and if you're currently experiencing this, you're not alone.

Connection Groups are a place where you can connect with other autistic adults weekly around shared experiences like living with chronic pain, parenting with autism, and budgeting our energy.

Scholarships are available. To apply, please 1) Visit the link above to familiarize yourself with the group meeting times and make sure it aligns with your availability 2) Fill out this form: www.momonthespectrum.life/scholarship-submission-f…

Here's what people are saying about Connection Groups:

“This was the most neurodiversity friendly experience I’ve ever had.”
— A.P.

“Being in this group is helping me reclaim a lot of my quirks and qualities that made me happy and were expressions of who I am. ”
— Sarah

“I got a level of validation and acceptance from my connection group that I hadn’t been getting from either my Autism focused therapist or even trusted loved ones. You get to come exactly as you are because it’s a space that is just for autistic voices.”
— Philip

Please let me know in the comments if you have any questions. I'd love to have you in any of the groups, especially during the holiday season as we have a few special social events during this time. ❄️
