I'm Tay, a married mother of 2 who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 31. This was after YEARS of therapy (and all the self-tests in the world!). My diagnosis brought up questions, frustration, doubts, but most importantly, a new level of compassion and self-understanding.

I'm here to share knowledge, resources, and products that empower other neurodivergents (and their loved ones) to live freely and creatively. I am not a doctor, so please talk to your healthcare providers before implementing any recommendations I make on my channel.

Women are underdiagnosed due to lack of research. Please share any videos that are helpful to you so we can increase awareness and acceptance.
