Autism, ADHD & Menopause: Why Symptoms Can Suddenly Intensify | Dr Clare Spencer | Ep 96

lundi 6 avril 2026 • Durée 33:45

Autism, ADHD and menopause are being talked about more than ever — but this is still a developing and often misunderstood area of women's health.

In this expert-led Henpicked Lunch & Learn, Deborah Garlick is joined by menopause specialist Dr Clare Spencer to explore how neurodiversity and menopause intersect — and why symptoms can feel suddenly overwhelming during this transition.

From late diagnoses to hormonal changes in the brain, this episode unpacks the emerging science, lived experiences, and practical ways to seek support.

You'll hear:

• What we mean by neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism
• Why many women are underdiagnosed — particularly later in life
• How hormonal changes during perimenopause affect the brain and neurochemicals
• Why symptoms like anxiety, brain fog and overwhelm can feel intensified
• The difference between lifelong neurodiverse traits and menopause symptoms
• Why perimenopause (not just menopause) is often when challenges begin
• The concept of "masking" — and why it can break down during menopause
• How to advocate for yourself with healthcare professionals
• Why finding the right support may take time and persistence
• What workplaces can do to better support neurodivergent employees

This is a thoughtful, evidence-informed conversation that highlights just how individual the menopause experience can be — especially when combined with neurodiversity.

As discussed in the session, this is an evolving area with growing research, but one thing is clear: awareness, understanding and support are essential.

Why Periods Are Still a Workplace Taboo | Menstrual Health with Talycia Nayee | Ep 95

lundi 23 mars 2026 • Durée 31:30

In this episode of the Henpicked Lunch & Learn podcast, host Sally Leech is joined by menstrual health educator and speaker Talycia Nayee to explore why periods are still surrounded by silence in many workplaces.

Despite periods being a normal and natural part of life for millions of people, conversations about menstrual health often remain uncomfortable or avoided altogether in professional environments. This silence can make it harder for employees to seek support and for organisations to create inclusive workplace cultures.

In this discussion, Talycia shares insights into why the stigma around periods still exists, the barriers that prevent open conversations at work, and why greater awareness and education around menstrual health matters for both employees and employers.

The conversation also explores how workplaces can play an important role in supporting women's health by helping to normalise conversations around periods and ensuring employees feel able to speak openly about their health and wellbeing.

This episode is part of the Henpicked Lunch & Learn series, helping organisations build knowledge and confidence around women's health in the workplace.
