In this important and compassionate episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan is joined by Ashley Dupuy for a powerful discussion on perimenopause, especially how it can uniquely impact neurodivergent women. Simon is taking time to rest and recharge, reinforcing the show’s message that rest is survival.
Together, Jordan and Ashley explore why this stage of life is still so misunderstood and often overlooked — particularly for autistic and ADHD women whose symptoms may already resemble burnout, anxiety, brain fog, sensory overload, and emotional exhaustion.
Ashley explains what perimenopause actually is, how it can begin years before menopause itself, and why hormonal changes can affect sleep, mood, memory, stress tolerance, energy levels, and physical health.
This is a hugely valuable episode for women navigating perimenopause, neurodivergent listeners wondering why life suddenly feels harder, and partners wanting to better understand and support the people they love.
