Webinar: Autism and menopause

Menopause can be a time of changes and challenges. Emerging research suggests that autistic people may find it especially difficult. Very little is known, however, about ways that menopause might differ for autistic and non-autistic people, why some individuals might have a harder time than others, and what can be done to help them through. In this webinar, we will explore the state of current knowledge around autistic experiences of menopause, as well as the gaps where we need to know more. The webinar will include several short talks with plenty of time for questions and discussion, where we hope to learn from our listeners their thoughts and ideas around research priorities and strategies for managing menopause. Professor Rebecca Charlton of Goldsmiths University of London will introduce the topic of menopause with a short overview of this life stage. Professor Julie Gamble-Turner and Dr Rachel Moseley of Bournemouth University will discuss why autistic people might struggle with menopause, as well as their research on the menopause experiences of autistic adults. Dr Richard de Visser of the University of Sussex will discuss his research and the results of an ongoing study which situates menopausal experiences within the broader challenges autistic people face with reproductive health.
