Becoming a Mom Helped Me Realize I'm Autistic

Parenting is challenging enough on its own, but parenting with autism? Where are the rule books? How do we navigate this constantly changing world of unending requests and...touching?

Parenting was the straw that broke my autistic back and made me realize- I'm not a normal mom!

I'm sharing how autism affects my parenting and practices I've learned to navigate motherhood with more patience and self compassion.

***EDIT: Since posting this video, I have learned more about the horrific origins of the term "aspergers" and have since stopped using this term as well as "aspie" which is a derivation of the word, and renamed my channel. In future videos I will make sure to address this issue when referencing any materials that use this term. If you are interested in learning more about the origins of this term, please be warned that you will be reading very upsetting information regarding TRIGGER WARNING child violence. I apologize for any upset or harm I may have caused by using these terms without knowing their origins.

I'm Tay, a mom of two who was diagnosed with autism at 31 years of age. Check out my other videos for more info about autism, and particularly how it relates to females.

I love creating free content for you. Please subscribe to my channel (it's free!) so I can continue doing so! It's the easiest way to support me.

You won't find me on Facebook or Instagram. My mental health is much better without them. But I'd love to start a conversation with you in the comments below. Let me know how the autism experience has been for you or your loved ones and if you have any ideas for future video topics.

Thanks for watching!
