Menopause & Autism in the Workplace

Introduction

The experiences of autistic women going through menopause have long been overlooked in research and public awareness. Recent studies aim to shed light on how menopause affects autistic individuals and suggest strategies for support.

Dr. Deborah Leveroy joins us from neurobox to discuss the overlap of menopause and autism using the latest research and real-life experiences.

Building a neuroinclusive organisation

Understanding that everyone experiences menopause differently, especially in relation to neurodiversity, helps create an inclusive workplace culture.

This inclusivity benefits all women going through this transition. And by taking proactive steps and committing to understanding these experiences, organisations can cultivate environments that are inclusive for all, regardless of gender or neurodiversity.

This session is a great starting point.
