About this Event
Perimenopause is a major transition — and for neurodivergent women, it often comes with sensory changes, emotional shifts, executive functioning challenges, and communication mismatches that aren’t talked about in traditional health spaces.
This workshop is a safe space for ND women to:
- share experiences
- learn about neurodivergent physiology in perimenopause
- understand why executive function and masking go out the window
- understand sensory and hormonal interactions via peer-reviewed research
- explore communication strategies for clinical appointments
- connect with others navigating similar changes
This is a community-centered, non-clinical workshop designed to support vulnerability, belonging, and shared understanding. You’re welcome exactly as you are — masked, unmasked, quiet, talkative, curious, overwhelmed, or unsure.
This workshop is for:
- Autistic women
- ADHD women
- AuDHD women
- Highly sensitive women
- Women with sensory processing differences
- Women who suspect they may be neurodivergent
This workshop is not:
- A medical appointment
- A diagnostic space
- A clinical seminar (that comes later!)
It’s a place to be human together.
Each participant will take home a curated mini-comfort sensory kit to reflect on their perimenopause journey.
