A new paper with @gregw1973 & Goldie McQuaid No associations between age & sensory sensitivities in middle-aged & older autistic people. Suggesting sensory sensitivities are stable across lifespan. (NB cross-sectional study so not measuring change). authors.elsevier.com/a/1jXGL6E7eDWJ…

@gavrobstew @AutismAdulthood @AutisticMatters @WillClinPsy @HappeLab Some different results in a new paper authors.elsevier.com/a/1jXGL6E7eDWJ… Which did NOT find associations between age and sensory difficulties. Note different sample, country, measures, etc. A real need for more info about autistic older people and replication of results

@NiDhubhda @gavrobstew @AutismAdulthood @AutisticMatters @WillClinPsy @HappeLab There's little research on autistic people's experience of menopause, but Rachel Moseley has done some excellent work. I've posted a link to a podcast below. (We've done a little work but not published yet). x.com/Autistica/stat…

@gavrobstew @AutismAdulthood @AutisticMatters @WillClinPsy @GoldAgeLabUK @HappeLab Thank you for this. This heightened sensitivity as one ages is something that I have become aware of. I thought it was just me, now I know that I am not alone in this. Just wondering about the impact of the menopause on autistic women, do they experience some of the typical
