Until He Can Speak for Himself: A Mother’s Advocacy Journey

Send a text

When Taylor Christina Terry sat in my 10th-grade classroom, neither of us could have imagined the journey ahead.

Now a wife and mother, Taylor is raising her oldest son, Clayton, who has autism. In this powerful and honest conversation, she shares how becoming a special needs mom completely transformed her perspective, not just as a parent, but as a former educator.

Taylor opens up about:

• The early signs and diagnosis process
• Navigating therapies and support through The Riley Center
• What it feels like when professionals dismiss a mother’s concerns
• The emotional toll of having to fight for your child
• How faith has anchored her through uncertainty
• Practical advocacy tips for families walking a similar path

She also reflects on something many of us are brave enough to admit: how easy it is to judge what we don’t understand, until it becomes your story.
