Autism and Migraines?

PetitePip

I've been suffering from hormonal migraines (every month) for a couple of years now. On top of these, I've always had a tendency to get migraines when I feel too much emotion positive or negative. I've had them after my graduation  (positive) and after what I now recognise are meltdowns (negative). 

I've been struggling to find much information online about links between autism and Migraines and I wondered whether anyone else had similar experiences? 

Thanks!

  • My triggers for severe headaches and sometimes migraines are sensory ones. I forgot my glasses with the blue light filters on once and I was off ill for 2 days after that. Also after 2 hours of fire alarm testing at my workplace the stress (I presume) caused a migraine.

    Thanks for sharing! I'm sorry to hear that it can be so debilitating. I have prescription glasses and if I don't wear them for 30 minutes I get a migraine which means I have to have my eyes shut if I go to the hairdressers. 

    I get sensory emotional overwhelm which then leads to auditory information becoming loud and more jumbled which is an indicator that I'm probably going to have a migraine come on.
