Hi Team Auti Peri,How are things with you? Just a short video as I am too tired to write a long form post, but I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. In last weekend’s post I walked you through writing an Autism Adapted Suicide Safety Plan. I would love to know if you found it helpful?As you might expect, I am still on a low after that! This video post is a little lighter, in the metaphorical sense. The downlights in the room were blinding so I filmed it lying down to pretend I don’t

How to Write an Autism Adapted Suicide Safety Plan

2025/04/12

Trigger warning: this post is entirely written on the topic of preventing autistic suicidality and self-harm. If you are sensitive to these topics, please take extra care of yourself. 💕Hi Team Auti Peri! Sorry for the bleak post but some of us in the community are on a real low. Naturally, this has led to us sharing cat photos in The Autistic Perimenopause chat group. We need and deserve more than just autism awareness. We need a collective social movement to prolong our lives to the same life

2025/04/06

This direct message from a new friend on Substack this week has provoked self-reflection on my part, as well as being a reminder of how disempowered and uncertain we can feel during the neurodivergent menopause transition:“I have people around me on polar opposites of the spectrum of pro/anti HRT, and I’m unsure how best to decide what's right for me.”Why are we so opposed and opinionated? I am guilty of pushing my own agenda on others, and I went too far via text message when recently advising

Have you heard of the Blue Zones? Before I was obsessed with autistic perimenopause (hard to believe there was such a time, I know), my special interest was longevity research findings and healthy lifestyle advice. National Geographic explorer and researcher, Dan Buettner, shares the optimal lifestyle principles believed to be responsible for extending the healthspans and lifespans of the oldest living human communities on Earth, in the idealistic Netflix documentary series: Live to 100: Secrets of

Five Minutes of Sensory Processing Disorder

2025/02/27

The world can feel like a sensory onslaught and drive us rapidly from regulated to the verge of a meltdown in the right wrong conditions. I am so sorry if the background noise of this video also drives you into sensory overload. Rather than cause harm, my goal is to share how Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) can take a regular everyday situation, and turn it into a sensory nightmare for anyone who has SPD. There are triggers everywhere. Sensory Processing Disorder is:* A common co-occuring

Hi everyone, Thanks for being here with me at The Autistic Perimenopause: Temporary Regression!I am delighted to be making some small regains in my energy, capacity and functioning levels that have been spiralling, regressing and lagging during my ongoing autistic perimenopause. I am fortunate to have enough supports in place right now, and have built my family’s life around my late-identified neurodivergence. They aren’t always happy about this, but I refuse to believe the “normal” way of life is

How I Stay When I Want To Run Away

Divergent Menopause (previously The Autistic... ·

2024/04/27

It is in my nature to live in a chronic state of fear. Before I was diagnosed autistic, ADHD and chronically anxious in my late thirties, I always wanted to hide under a rock, where I could be left alone and in peace, free of the demands of social interaction and sensory overload. Flotation sensory deprivation tanks were my second home. These days my anxiety shows up more as panic, resulting from the unending demands of parenting in a brain and body that feel they were not made for this world
