'When my autism broke': A qualitative study spotlighting autistic voices on menopause / Rachel L. MOSELEY in Autism, 24-6 (August 2020)
[article]
Titre : 'When my autism broke': A qualitative study spotlighting autistic voices on menopause Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rachel L. MOSELEY, Auteur ; Tanya DRUCE, Auteur ; Julie M. TURNER-COBB, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1423-1437 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autistic people autistic women climacteric syndrome knowledge menopause perimenopause reproductive lifespan sensory sensitivity support Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Autistic girls are known to struggle with the onset of menstruation, reporting that during their period, sensory sensitivities are heightened, it becomes more difficult to think clearly and control their emotions and they struggle more with everyday life and self-care. Yet surprisingly, nothing is known about how autistic women handle the menopausal transition in midlife. In non-autistic women, the menopause brings many physical changes and challenging symptoms from hot flushes to feeling more anxious and depressed. Because autistic women are already vulnerable to suicide, poor physical and mental health, and because they may already struggle with planning, controlling their emotions and coping with change, the menopause may be an especially challenging time. Yet, not one single study exists on the menopause in autism, so we conducted an online discussion (focus group) with seven autistic women. They confirmed that very little is known about menopause in autistic people, very little support is available and that menopause might be especially difficult for autistic people. Autism-related difficulties (including sensory sensitivity, socializing with others and communicating needs) were reported to worsen during the menopause, often so dramatically that some participants suggested they found it impossible to continue to mask their struggles. Participants also reported having extreme meltdowns, experiencing anxiety and depression, and feeling suicidal. This study highlights how important it is that professionals pay attention to menopause in autism, and discusses future research directions.

Titre : "It's Not Just in My Head, and It's Not Just Irrelevant": Autistic Negotiations of Menopausal Transitions Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : M. KARAVIDAS, Auteur ; R. O. DE VISSER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1143-1155 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism Spectrum Disorder Autistic Disorder Female Humans Menopause/psychology Negotiating Autism Critical realism Menopause Neurodiversity Qualitative Wellbeing Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Physical and psychological changes during menopause can be especially tumultuous for autistic people: difficulties with sensory sensitivity and daily functioning may be exacerbated. Through individual interviews, we examined the language used by seven peri- or post-menopausal autistic people to construct their experiences, and to consider the implications for their wellbeing and identities. Our analysis, which utilised thematic decomposition, yielded three discursive themes. The theme "Uncertainty about Changes" addressed how limited awareness and understanding of menopause combined with difficulties recognising internal states. However, with "Growing Self-Awareness and Self-Care", some participants made conscious efforts to resist negative societal constructions of both autism and menopause. The theme "Navigating Support Options" addressed the interpersonal and systemic barriers participants faced when seeking support. There is a need for accessible information for autistic people experiencing menopause, and greater professional awareness.
