Autism research is ‘all about the blokes and the kids’: Autistic Women Breaking the Silence on Menopause.
Moseley, R. L., Druce, T., & Turner‐Cobb, J. M.
This qualitative study explored the menopause experiences of 17 autistic individuals, revealing that many faced significant challenges in daily functioning, mental health, and social engagement during this transition. Participants often had low awareness of menopause and limited confidence in healthcare support, with some reporting that autism made the experience more difficult. The findings highlight a critical need for better recognition and tailored support for autistic people during menopause.
