16 Overlooked Autistic Traits in Women
Mom on the Spectrum
@MomontheSpectrumAbout
Hi, Iβm Taylor. I'm a late-diagnosed autistic mom, creator, and educator learning how to live more gently while getting to know my neurodivergent brain. I found out I was autistic at 31, and suddenly many of my repeated struggles made sense. That relief and clarity is something I wish I could give to anyone who has been wondering why life feels different for you. This channel is where we work through shame, drop the mask, and connect with people who understand how overwhelming this process can be. Whether youβre late-diagnosed, self-diagnosed, or still exploring, youβre welcome here exactly as you are. π₯ βοΈ New videos premiere most Wednesdays at 2 PM CT. If youβre wanting more of that feeling of being seen, my Connection Groups are a space for honest conversation and genuine support (links below). Iβm 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.

Autistic women are under-diagnosed due to a lack of research and testing in the female/AFAB population.

This was after YEARS of therapy (and all of the self tests in the world!). My diagnosis has brought up questions, frustration, doubt, but most importantly, a new level of self compassion and understanding. I'm here to share knowledge, resources, and products that empower other neurodivergents (and their loved ones) to live freely and creatively. I'm not a doctor so please speak with your healthcare providers before implementing any recommendations I make on my channel. Women are under-diagnosed due to lack of research. Please share any videos that are helpful to you so we can spread awareness and acceptance.
