Toren Wolf is an autistic teenager who is known for his social media presence on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Joined by his Mom Serenity, (known fondly as 'Mama Wolf' on Social Media) Toren posts videos sharing insights into their shared experiences with autism and ADHD, as well as reminders of love and self care to their audience. Toren was diagnosed with autism at a young age, and last year, a reassessment revealed the coexistence of ADHD. Serenity received her diagnosis of autism and ADHD around the same time last year after 48 years of being undiagnosed.

For Toren's Mom, learning about her neurodivergence has been a revelation. It has provided her with valuable insights into herself, allowing her to understand and accept herself with newfound compassion and forgiveness. 

For Toren, understanding the way his brain works has bolstered his self-esteem, confidence, and overall well-being in profound ways.

Driven by their shared experiences and the desire to connect with others like them, Toren and his Mom ventured into social media.
