menopause: your experiences

Uhane

I am at the end of the menopase journet for quite some time but I wonder what it was like for other people.

For me I was fascinated by it and it became my Special interest for a number of years.

One thing it did was make it harder to mask, which was liberating for me and baffling to some who did not really know me well.

  • I'm so glad I found this site, and particularly, this thread! I was recently diagnosed autistic in Feb 2024 at age 55, and I just have a hunch that menopause is what finally brought my autism to light.  Anyone else discover their autism in menopause?

    I was diagnosed a few yrs ago, I am 55. I feel like my emotions reverted to those I had as a teen and in my twenties.

    I couldn't self regulate in my younger yrs and never understood why I was so different and found everything so difficult. 

    I realised that my menopause has left me feeling the same way. The privilege of having my diagnosis has helped me understand why I am finding things difficult and in turn put in place measures to help me cope.
