Autistic people report more severe menopause symptoms, study finds - The Pharmacist

Autistic individuals experience more severe menopause symptoms, higher anxiety and depression, and poorer quality of life compared to non-autistic individuals, according to a study published in Autism in Adulthood. The research highlights the need for tailored support and understanding of menopausal changes for autistic people, who often feel misunderstood and out of control during this period. The study also notes that autistic participants were more likely to have pre-existing physical health conditions, and the findings suggest further research is needed to address health inequalities during menopause.
