It is the first study of its kind to include a pool of Canadian research participants. It is also the first to include autistic community researchers in the co-production of knowledge with academics. It contributes to earlier research in the United Kingdom (U.K.) and the Netherlands which suggests that many autistic people experience menopause as a tumultuous or even catastrophic time.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20827\" style=\"width: 1346px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20827\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-20827 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-content\/uploads\/WCH-Image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1336\" height=\"621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-content\/uploads\/WCH-Image.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-content\/uploads\/WCH-Image-400x186.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-content\/uploads\/WCH-Image-300x139.jpg 300w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-content\/uploads\/WCH-Image-768x357.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sjc\/wp-content\/uploads\/WCH-Image-700x325.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20827\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image from Bridging the Silos<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The emphasis of the talk was on the first phase of research, focus groups and interviews with 24 autistic participants from Canada and the U.K. who had experiences of the menopausal transition.

Findings from the first phase of the study are currently under peer review with an academic journal. The team has also conducted research in second and third phases of the project, creative submissions and an international survey respectively.
