We're living through the doom loop once again.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

UK resident survey on #BreastCancer treatment and #Autism. I’m on the Lived Experience Advisory Group and tested this out. #Metastatic and non-autistic cancer survivors welcome too. I would estimate it took me more like 30-40 minutes.

Not an April Fools joke. #Blasphemy #Idolatry

I am giving a free webinar on menopause hormone therapy, sponsored by BC Women's Hospital, on Tuesday, March 31. Hope you can join me! zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Pour mes ami(e)s et associé(e)s francophones—joyeux Mois de l‘Acceptation de #l’Autisme. Lien à mon nouveau article au sujet du #Vieillissement (p. 36-39, p. 100) My new #Autism #Aging article in French. cutt.ly/ntU851z2

#TonyAttwood announcing at 74 he is #Autistic. Part of an intense discussion about his mentor Prof Frith. The timing of the disclosure is curious.

@annmemmott.bsky.social yes mostly ‘experts’ are silent, so are the major Autism charities at least in Canada. The NAS in UK has responded to Frith, citing Fyfe et al www.autism.org.uk/blog/challen...

#LostHistory of #Autism. #GrunyaSukhareva #AutisticGirlsAndWomen. I’m part of those #LostGenerations; likely so was my mom.

#MentalHealth #Depression #Perimenopause Suicidality rate discussed.

Important paper on #Menopause and #Loneliness. Cognitive challenges like #BrainFog ?

Glimmer not glamour. Love it ! So there, Uta #LateDiagnosed #AutisticGirlsAndWomen #Grelief (Grief+Relief)

Uta Frith said masking isn’t real, late diagnoses were probably wrong, and non-speaking autistic people who write may be lying. She admitted she had no proof. None of it was challenged. I wrote the response she didn’t get: www.canarysend.co.uk/canarysendbl...

Uta Frith did her best work 30+ years ago - most of it before autism researchers started realising they needed to listen to what autistic people were saying about our own experiences. I wish she'd caught up. oolong.medium.com/autistics-on...

"Many undiagnosed autistic adults first seek help and answers when unattended needs and the cost of masking autistic traits have pushed us into crisis, because it can take a crisis to override our internalized beliefs that we don’t need or deserve support or understanding."

@drloribrotto.bsky.social my field of study is #Menopause and neurodivergence specifically #Autism. Let’s connect. My papers and talks are here Linktr.ee/christineajenkins

It’s embarrassing and unsportsmanlike.

We should be focused on the Tumbler Ridge victims, families and the community. But some gross people are forcing another conversation: one of virulent transphobia. The ramifications of that now have to be addressed. @faejohnstone.bsky.social and @amaramarasingam.bsky.social helped me to do that.

I’m late to the party or should I say The Pitt. Bravo Katherine LaNasa #BreastCancer survivor and #Emmy winner.

Carney’s speech at Davos? #CanadaStrong showing strength by sticking up for Greenland.

So I made it to Edmonton despite the cold and the time zone change. Two talks a day apart, Jan 28 and 29. #Aging #Flourishing #GenderBias

#perimenopause #menopause should be valued as accumulated insight. Instead, it’s been repackaged as a problem to monetise. Usually without diverse people in the room.

Shared via Altogether Autism I have added your article to my signposting page of resources about Autism and Menopause on my website autisticrealms.com/autistic-men.... Thank you www.altogetherautism.org.nz/autism-menop...

I’m here at Children’s Autism of Edmonton. If you are too use hashtag #CASECONF2026 Ironically I am speaking about adults.

Stopped buying Clinique and The Ordinary. Canadian owned and made Marcelle is my go-to.

I would call myself semi speaking. Sometimes I stumble and words fail me. Definitely not nonverbal.

In Japan, menopause is called kōnenki, “renewal years” 🌸 I love this💗 Because so many women I see feel like they are fading, when really they are just exhausted from pushing through. What if we started treating these years as a reset, a renewal and a return to ourselves? 💗 #menopause #womenover40

#Endometriosis #SelfGaslighting

Any Barbie can be Autistic. #AutisticAllMyLife #AutisticElders #WhatAutismLooksLike

Mixed reviews on this. #Representation is important. I guess the views of kids are most valid. There are bigger community issues than toy creation. No one doll is going to depict autism as it doesn’t have ‘a look’.

I have signed up. Asking for accommodations like keeping my camera off. #Canada #Menopause #Research Autism is not a disqualifier.

The new Barbie comes with a range of accessories to reflect her status as an autistic woman, such as: - noise-cancelling headphones - a fidget spinner - intense social media scrutiny about how she's Being Autistic Wrong

Menopause isn’t optional—coverage shouldn’t be either. Signed into law today, A5278 makes New Jersey one of the states leading the way on menopause care by requiring health insurance coverage for medically necessary #perimenopause and #menopause treatments.

"It's the chats with colleagues that get me through. Not the policy, not HR, just knowing you're not alone": women's experiences of #menopause at work and reflections on a workplace menopause policy doi.org/10.1097/gme.... A small study delivering a very big, important message!

#DoubleEmpathy Miscommunication is not all our fault.

New Finnish study in Maturitas shows vaginal oestrogen in #postmenopausal women is linked with a lower risk of rectal cancer. This treatment deserves more airtime. It can ease urinary urgency, reduce recurrent UTIs, improve dryness & comfort. 👇 www.maturitas.org/article/S037... #menopause

We are recruiting a fully-funded 3.5yr PhD student to examine the potential genetic relationships between autism and hypermobility. Full details of the project and how to apply here ⬇️ usher.ed.ac.uk/precision-me... Deadline Jan 12th! Within the Precision Medicine DTC at Edinburgh.

Finally someone mentions unusual presentation #ItchyEars as well as #Hoarseness and #Nosebleeds. I’ve been on Tamoxifen which blocks the remaining estrogen receptors and makes these symptoms worse. #Menopause conditions and side effects of cancer anti-hormone treatment we don’t discuss.

"Nearly one in five perimenopausal and postmenopausal women had noticed that self-pleasure provided symptom relief. Relative to other symptom management strategies, masturbation was rated among the highest in providing symptom relief" #menopause #research

I’m not American but I do remember the 1978 WKRP holiday episode. Actor and screenwriter Richard Sanders who played Les is 85 now and lives in Washington state. Happy Thanksgiving and don’t let the turkeys get you down. Or hit you.
