Go on just about any autism charity website and look up menopause.
Autistic women don't go through menopause. It's autistic people.
Weirdly autistic people apparently tend to have a worse experience with menopause because they are particularly sensitive to hormone changes.
This is odd, because it seems that autistic people seem to have bigger issues with puberty too.
And it makes you wonder what might happen if you gave the wrong hormones to autistic people too.
And whether there's an issue here that might be better dealt with if we used the words women and girls and actually started to explore why women's health is so fucked in the head and under researched and understood.
Because clearly there's a massive gap in understanding here... That it wouldn't surprise me as being deliberately fucking suppressed to serve the agendas of males.
Worse still, if autistic women have particular sensitivities to hormones and have worse PMT and are more likely to have PMDD and really struggle with menopause wtf happens to autistic men who take female hormones? Because this may not be the same as the general male population either.
Noting the shortage of HRT drugs which will clearly negatively impact autistic women, sorry people, far more.
(I am just finding this out and it's made me absolutely RAGE).
