If you've gone this long without therapy, why pursue it now?
I'm Tay, a mom of two who was diagnosed with autism at 31 years of age. Therapy is helping me identify my sensory needs and anticipate how to take care of myself before hitting burnout. I have fewer meltdowns, more energy, more confidence, which overall makes me feel HAPPIER and more comfortable in my skin.
Today I'm sharing challenges you'll likely face on the road to finding a therapist and how you can advocate for yourself to get the support you need.
***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 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. If you have received therapy - what have you learned that could be helpful to others in the autism community?
Thanks for watching!
