Rachel Mosley and Eunhee Kim: Unveiling the Intersection of Autism and Menopause – Challenges, Resilience, and Empowering Support Strategies
Send us a text
Imagine discovering a new facet of your identity just as you are navigating the already tumultuous waters of menopause.
That's the reality for many autistic individuals, and today we’re thrilled to have researchers Rachel Mosley and Eunhee Kim share their eye-opening findings on this deeply personal and under-researched topic.
Uni's initial investigation into the high rates of suicidality among autistic people led her to Rachel, and together they embarked on a groundbreaking study funded by the UK organization Henpict.
This episode unpacks the complex interplay between autism and menopause, revealing the unique struggles and resilience of those living through it.
Rachel and Eunhee shed light on how masking and self-image can become particularly challenging during menopause.
Some women only learn about their autism at this stage, adding another layer to their experience.
We discuss vital coping strategies, from seeking information to building supportive communities, while also addressing the more harmful paths some may take, such as self-injury.
Social support from other autistic individuals or empathetic friends and family is highlighted as essential.
Our conversation underscores the importance of tailoring research to meet the real needs of autistic individuals, guided by feedback from an autistic advisory panel.
Rachel's personal journey of discovering her autism later in life adds depth to our discussion, illustrating how this realization reshaped her self-perception and professional focus.
Her story highlights the power of shared experiences and the importance of fostering trust and empathy in research.
By bridging understanding between autistic and neurotypical experiences, especially during complex life stages like menopause, Rachel's work aims to provide crucial information and support.
We wrap up by inviting listeners to engage with us and share their own stories, reinforcing the community spirit that drives our show, "Why Not Me?"
Join us for an episode that promises to enlighten and connect us all through shared understanding and support.
