Autism and the menopause

Has anyone experienced heightened sensory overwhelm because of peri, meno or post menopause?

  • Definitely. Basically everything feels more difficult - temperature, touch, smells, sounds, physical sensations, sleep. The menopause is making life pretty difficult for me. I don’t want to take medication though - so I’m hoping that in time these issues will improve (I’ve read that they can).
