Autism and the Menopause Transition: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review
There is a clear need for better menopause supports for Autistic people. This should include Autism-friendly information to increase knowledge of menopause, and how it may impact Autistic people. Corresponding information should also be available for health professionals, with systemic barriers to healthcare also reduced to allow the best chance for Autistic people to receive menopause support. Autism-specific menopause peer support may be worthy of evaluation.
