Does autism present differently in women than men? Do you have autistic traits you’ve been explaining away since childhood? Why are women underdiagnosed?
Learn how autistic women fly under the radar and what some of our “tells” are. We’ll explore appearance, intellect, emotions, learning styles and relationships. We’ll define camouflaging and masking and how this makes it harder for us to identify where we get stuck.

***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. I'm a mom of 2 who received an unexpected autism diagnosis at age 31 and it's been a monumental journey!
The road to an adult autism diagnosis can be challenging, but I’m here to help you by providing resources and information I’ve learned along the way. Obtaining a diagnosis can help you develop more selfcompassion, lessen stress and anxiety, and discover effective coping strategies.
Being autistic is nothing to be ashamed of. It’s a very intricate and unique way of seeing the world that has plenty of strengths and advantages.
