Everyone experiences menopause differently: some experience serious symptoms, some none at all. Some suffer more with the physical symptoms of menopause, some the psychological and some both. Some prefer to manage their menopause through the medical approach and some through other methods.

Initial research shows that menopause can have a far greater impact on autistic people for whom the changes in mood, physical symptoms and cognitive ability can be nothing short of terrifying. So, we delighted to invite you to a thought-provoking webinar that delves into a vital area of research: the impact of menopause on autistic individuals on Thursday 6 March from 12pm to 1pm.

This event promises to shed light on an often overlooked intersection of menopause and autism.

About the research project:

Bournemouth University recently embarked on a ground-breaking three-year research project funded by Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace, investigating the profound effects of menopause on autistic individuals. While the research primarily focuses on autism, it also explores other forms of neurodivergence.

By attending this webinar, you will:

• Gain insight into the unique challenges faced by autistic individuals during menopause.
• Learn about the factors driving differences in menopausal experiences between autistic and non-autistic people.
• Understand the importance of early interventions and support strategies for promoting wellbeing.
• Explore how research findings can shape societal support systems and workplace policies.

This event is open to all staff.

We expect this event to be popular; early booking is advised: book your place on .
