Menopause and Neurodiversity - What That Means For Your Brain

Menopause marks a significant stage in a woman’s life, characterised by profound hormonal changes that impact not only physical health but also cognitive function. For neurodivergent women—those with conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, or other neurological variations—the effects of menopause on the brain can be particularly challenging.

This session, led by Kirsty Brown, Fitness for Life and Lucy Smith from Inclusive Change at Work, brings together expertise in health, fitness, and workplace inclusivity to address this critical yet under-discussed intersection of menopause and neurodiversity. Key topics include:

Understanding the Cognitive Impacts of Menopause

Key Challenges for Neurodivergent Women During Menopause

Strategies for Managing Brain Health and Mental Wellbeing

Building Awareness and Advocacy
