Autistica Podcast Autistica

Episode 11 Autism and Menopause

Yes, Yes, Yes !!! This is me, this is me, this is me !!! I hadn’t listened to the podcast before, but was immediately drawn to this episode first. I was curious to find out what would be said, and found myself described in every way. It is sadly typicalI that no research has been done on the subject until now (adult autistic females are only just getting a look in as it is), but great to hear that the subject has been picked up, as I have come to all these conclusions myself. am peri menopausal and recently diagnosed autistic and found my experience of recent years described here exactly. I am looking into the possibility of HRT, but haven’t gone there yet - going through the diagnostic process has been enough to cope with for the minute! If there is any way to become involved in future research, I would love to know how. In the mean time, this is a straight forward podcast that is totally relevant and, based on this single experience, I highly recommend a listen! I’m off to listen to more … :-)
