Paige Layle

I love hearing from Autistic Adults, and Paige Layle has garnered quite a following on TikTok and Instagram, sharing her story and creating resonating content for her viewers traveling similar journeys. Paige’s recently published memoir, But Everyone Feels This Way: How an Autism Diagnosis Saved My Life , has been an opportunity to reach her followers on a deeper level, connect beyond the internet, and create a resource for those that relate to her story. Just two weeks before her 15th birthday, Paige received her diagnosis. It was what she calls “Life Shattering”. She describes that she had been internally begging and pleading for an explanation of why life is so hard for her; the diagnosis was just that. She took to social media after becoming comfortable with these platforms across her life, in her second year of university. Paige made her first autism-focused video discussing her anger about “trending sounds” insulting autistic individuals, which pushed her to start educating and sharing the autistic voice. She now creates content full-time, with the bulk of her income coming from public speaking events and consulting with schools and other organizations. Paige reminds parents not to be scared. If you have concerns about delays or other symptoms in your child, just know that whatever information you collect will help you, she says. And for those of us out there consuming content, she informs us that not all autistic people want to be advocates, so be respectful, as well as diversify your resources so that you may hear a variety of voices. You can find Paige on Instagram and TikTok at @PaigeLayle. #autism #speectherapy What’s Inside: Who is Paige Layle? Using social media to share the autistic voice.

In this video, Dan, who has autism and ADHD, discusses the challenges that girls with autism spectrum face with sleep difficulties. He emphasizes the importance of creating a calming environment to wind down before bedtime, despite the heightened mental activity often associated with autism. He suggests using stimulants like caffeine before bed to help increase serotonin levels and improve sleep quality. Dan also offers some practical tips for girls with autism, such as dimming the lights, reading a calming book, and avoiding stimulating activities before bedtime to facilitate a restful night's sleep.
