Obligatory PSA: Stop putting young children with sensory sensitivities into loud MRI machines to draw not-super-useful conclusions! Adults exist!!

#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.

The Quebec version is tentatively entitled Facteur A. www.c21media.net/news/cbc-ord...

Right decision on localized #Estrogen for the wrong reason. Dr Jen talks sense.

Watching RFK Jr. press conference about menopause hormone therapy (MHT). He doesn't even get the name of the therapy right. Uses old misogynist label HRT. Get your info from experts like @drjengunter.bsky.social. chatelaine.com/health/hormo...

Great piece on the FDA and menopause hormone therapy in @motherjones.com it is the most medically accurate coverage I have read from the press! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Here is the replay link! In case you missed it. @nellfahey.bsky.social thanks! youtu.be/mfRWoIQTc-M?...

I will repeat — best thing I ever did was make a complete list of everything I was experiencing and arguing for hormone replacement therapy. Take in ONE complaint and they will treat that. Hormones regulate EVERYTHING in your body. Make the list. Advocate for yourself.

Great job D! Maybe more than one elder next time, but a good start.

I’ve now seen the first 2 episodes and enjoyed them. See yesterday’s repost. @shannonrosa.bsky.social there will also be a Quebec version in French. My online friends Margaux Wosk (Retrophiliac) and Damon Kirsebom are cast members.

Damon Kirsebom, a nonspeaking Autistic man, is on Episode 2, now streaming on CBC Gem or YouTube. #PresumeCompetence Damon asks his question using AAC: we just have to give each other time and space: fb.watch/De0IBU9R3D/?...

This open-access book marks the first historical overview of the autism rights branch of the neurodiversity movement, describing the activities & rationales of key leaders in their own words. Edited by @drstevenkapp.bsky.social link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

#PeriodPoverty in the USA. Now that #SNAP payments are cancelled this month….

Here is the scoping review by Grant et al. My studies are Ref 37 and 41. www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1177/...

#perimenopause #menopause care in the UK isn’t broken. It was never built for everyone. The APPG report exposes how people are being left behind. Want equality? Start with inclusion. Want trust? Work with the people you’ve ignored. Read the report ow.ly/44Hb50XjyW6

New research: Early menopause and surgical menopause impact women’s labor market trajectories 💼 This study suggests that hormone therapy within the early years of the final menstruation may help women remain employed. #menopause @elsa-study.bsky.social journals.lww.com/menopausejou...

#AutismArtOfThePossible From my perspective, a really fabulous conference with so many good speakers and vital topics. Do get in contact with @at-autism.bsky.social and team if you need further information, ideas and signposting.

Were any of these people #Neurodivergent ? I studied #Autistic menopause for 4 years. Similar hormonal upheaval in #ADHD @profpoojasaini.bsky.social #EndTheStigma #Perimenopause #IncludeMyMenopause

The round up is out from @annmemmott.bsky.social & @ndconnection.bsky.social ndconnection.co.uk/blog/autism-...

Can’t wait for Damian. His writing has informed so much of my work.

Attending this today. Thanks to Jacky for a pass. #AutismArtOfThePossible

Although #Menopause is not a disease. Just sayin’…

Elinzanetant and fezolinetant can help with hot flash/flush and night sweats. Ask your doctor. #BreastCancer #ER+ #Menopause caused by anti-hormone therapy.

Good newsletter on #Menopause by a coach who, other than her services, is not trying to sell you stuff.

annsautism.blogspot.com/2025/06/auti... may be helpful in setting out the positives and realities about autism, from actual research, rather than the doom-mongering and total negativity based on whatever goes through his mind that day. Please do feel free to read and share.

More hope for ER+ cancer survivors, in addition to fezolinetant. Will it be cheaper? Health Canada just approved it. @casinoshiftmd.bsky.social @drjengunter.bsky.social do you know.

I'm prepared to believe he's never met a 70yr-old with autism but that's only because he views people with autism as less than human and avoids contact with them.

#MomShaming. Blaming people for using Tylenol is the latest ‘refrigerator mother’ theory.

I need a Tylenol after listening to him drone on.

Or #Autism? Or both? #Perimenopause #Menopause

Lynkuet (elinzanetant) recommended in Europe.
