10 Childhood Autistic Traits That Make Sense Now

As a child, medical professionals said I was stressed, anxious, and shy. It wasn’t until I turned 31 that I was finally able to put all of the pieces together in a way that made sense. I realized with the help of a psychologist that I’m autistic.

This video explores 10 of my childhood autistic traits that were overlooked as stress, anxiety, or just being shy.

I am not a doctor or medical professional. I am a 33-year-old autistic mom and I’m sharing my experiences to spread awareness of how autism presents, to connect others like me to resources and support, and to empower people on the spectrum to live confident, successful lives.

Please consult your healthcare provider before making any changes to your healthcare routine.

Also, please note that relating to some of these traits does not mean you are autistic. It is part of a much larger picture. If you’re interested in learning more about whether or not you might be on the spectrum, you may find the following video suggestion helpful along with my playlist over the diagnostic process:

I'm Tay, a married mom of 2 who was diagnosed with Autism at 31 years old. 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.
