This study explored how autistic people experience menopause, revealing that many face intense challenges and barriers to support during this transition. Through focus groups and interviews with 24 participants from Canada and the UK, researchers identified key themes around symptom intensity, midlife adversity, the need for knowledge and connection, and limited access to care. While not all experiences may reflect the wider autistic community, the study highlights the value of shared stories in reducing isolation and informing better support.
