Mom on the Spectrum
Hi, I’m Taylor Heaton — creator, mom, and late-diagnosed autistic human figuring it out in real time.
I help autistic adults (especially the late-diagnosed and self-diagnosed) unlearn shame, drop the mask, and build a life that actually fits. I was diagnosed at 31, and it changed everything — not because I became someone new, but because I finally understood who I’d been all along.
