What are the challenges facing autistic adults when they age?About this Event
Autistic people become increasingly invisible as they age. This is especially true of autistic women and people with ovaries, who often aren't catered for by services. There are, however, numerous challenges associated with navigating the ageing process as an autistic adult, menopause being just one of these.
In this talk, Dr Rachel Moseley (Principal Academic in Psychology, Bournemouth University) will discuss:
- What are the challenges facing autistic adults when they age?
- Why do autistic people have especial difficulties with reproductive transition points like menopause?
- Why is menopause important for later health and wellbeing?
- What can be done to help autistic people through menopause and into older age?
Slides, references and CPD certificates will be available to attendees along with a recording to watch again for up to 30 days afterwards.
