The impact of the menopause transition on neurodivergent people, in particular those with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) or autism is a hot topic right now.

ADHD affects 3-4% of both men and women, autism 1 in 100. Some people are diagnosed in childhood, others as adults.

Either way, going through the menopause with ADHD and/or autism can be a perfect storm – amplifying neurodivergent features and menopausal symptoms, and pre-existing health conditions may worsen, making for a challenging time. But, with the right support, it need not be this way.

In this interactive and informative workshop, Dr Clare Spencer, co-founder of My Menopause Centre, and Dr Rachel Moseley, Principle Academic in Psychology at Bournemouth University, will:

Recap on the menopause transition and why it can impact all aspects of a woman’s life
Explain what neurodiversity is
Take a closer look at ADHD and autism, sharing, for each:
- What it is, causes, incidence and diagnosis
- Key features
- How the menopause transition can impact these features
Share the latest thinking on how to prepare for and manage the menopausal transition, showing it’s a time to thrive not just survive – from lifestyle changes to HRT, and CBT to mindfulness and meditation, Dr Clare and Dr Rachel will leave no stone unturned!
Share the latest thinking on how to prepare for and manage menopause symptoms for love, life and work
