π Give Yourself the Gift of Community: Join a MOTS Learn & Discuss Class
November 3, 2023
I'm sitting in a cozy cabin in Broken Bow, Oklahoma for our annual family trip with my parents, grandparents, and cousins... sipping a cup of decaf coffee and wondering, "How are there already Christmas commercials on TV?!"
In a season that's all about giving, I hope you are giving to yourself. Many of us have been conditioned to think that doing so is selfish. But I'm learning that self care, self love, and self compassion are the foundation for a fulfilling and enjoyable life. Taking care of myself also allows me to show up more fully for others. And one way I have learned to take care of myself since my autism diagnosis in 2020 is regularly connecting with a validating community (that's YOU!).
As an undiagnosed autistic woman, I didn't know how much I was missing by not having others in my life who could reflect my own experiences back to me. Now I get to experience that on a regular basis, and every time it feels like I become more alive, more embodied, and more whole.
If you're looking for a simple way to support yourself as an autistic person, you may find healing and new life in the form of community like I have. I'm emailing today to invite you to two community classes that are currently open for enrollment: ADHD & Autismand Holidays on the Spectrum.
Each of these classes is based on a slideshow presentation that I will guide us through. The teaching will have pauses for discussion, and discussion questions are emailed out in advance. You may participate with/without camera/mic, text chat only, or listening only. There are up to 15 other individuals in the group.
And, enrollment in either class comes with a year of access to my private online community where you can connect with over 200 autistic individuals 24/7.
Find more info for both events below.π
Holidays on the Spectrum

These community events have become a very important part of my life and I am honored to connect with so many incredible people through them. I hope you're one of them!
Sincerely,
Taylor
