Beskrivning
Having menopausal symptoms as an autistic person can feel isolating and confusing. You might be wondering why you are feeling so lost or why your experience doesn't seem anything like other people's. Here to provide you with clarity are Dr. Rachel Moseley, who is autistic herself, and Professor Julie Gamble-Turner, who has personal experience of the menopause. They combine their years of experience researching autism, health and wellbeing to bring you this indispensable book. Drawing on the powerful voices of sixteen autistic experts, chapters cover everything from understanding why being autistic will affect your experience of the menopause to advice about finding the strategies that work for you and seeking help. You will learn how the menopause can cause changes to your emotions, attention and memory as well as affect things like sensory issues, masking and communication, giving you tools to manage changes effectively and, most importantly, provide reassurance that you're not alone. Whether you're an autistic person currently going through the menopause, are not yet menopausal, or have come out the other side, this book provides the knowledge and support you have been missing.
