I was interviewed by Tanja Bächler recently for her YouTube channel. The first part is about my life before and after #Autism diagnosis aged 58.
At 27 mins the discussion shifts to research I’ve been doing on #Autistic people’s experiences of #menopause #AutisticMenopause

I love rummaging about in old folders because I never know what I’ll find!

This late in life career renaissance has been wonderful for me.
We have published one paper on #AutisticMenopause and two more are due out soon.

I reached my career nadir during perimenopause, just before my #autism #diagnosis aged 58.
Restarting my research career seemed impossible but after posting a thread on my experience of #AutisticMenopause I met the ‘Bridging the Silos’ research team I spent the next few years working with.

Our #AutisticMenopause paper is 6 months old today! After 1 month we had 3500 views; today nearly 8400. Here’s a new article citing it. theconversation.com/how-do-women... Original research in the journal Autism. tinyurl.com/42sbtfs2 Thanks for sharing widely, more to come!
