Mom on the Spectrum
Hi, I’m Taylor. I'm a late-diagnosed autistic mom, creator, and educator figuring out how to live more gently while getting to know my neurodivergent brain.
I found out I was autistic at 31, and suddenly so many of my repeated struggles made sense. That relief and clarity is something I wish I could give to anyone else who has been wondering why life just seems different for you.
This channel is where we work through shame, learn how to drop the mask, and connect with people who understand how overwhelming this whole process can be. Whether you’re late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or still exploring the idea, you’re welcome here exactly as you are.
If you’re craving more of that feeling of being seen, my Connection Groups are a space for honest conversation and genuine support (links below if you want to check them out).
🧠 I’m not a doctor, just a human sharing lived experience. Please talk with your healthcare provider before making medical decisions based on anything you see here.

New video premiering TODAY, October 15 @ 3 PM CT
I'm kind of over authority figures talking about autistic people like we're problems to be solved. So I'm inviting you to slow down with me, disconnect from those voices, and reconnect with real, solid truths about the inherent strengths of autistic individuals.

Also I just saw that so many of you have already "liked" the video! 🥹 Thank you so much for this support. It really makes a difference.

I had the privilege of watching this documentary at the Wilderwood conference last year after speaking on stage with the legendary Dr. Temple Grandin, and was moved to tears. The amount of work she has done in paving the way for our community to be seen, validated, and understood is phenomenal. I encourage you to check this out on Apple TV or Amazon Prime. Dr. Grandin's selfless advocacy has won my utmost respect and appreciation.

Mom on the Spectrum
This video is designed for you to send to friends and family members who are open to learning more about supporting you on your autism journey.
In part 2 (which drops TODAY, Wed Sept 10 @ 3 PM CT) I'm covering how to respond (and what to avoid) when someone shares their autism diagnosis with you.
I'll also be sharing comments from community members who have shared their own responses to this topic in the comments here on the channel.
Join me for the live premiere where we can use the text chat to share ideas and connect! https://youtu.be/F5keGMART3s?si=KEBmE...
