DESCRIPTION:Autistic people may experience a particularly difficult time d
 uring menopause compared to non-autistic people\, but there are few direct
  comparisons as to why this might be. We examined whether menopause repres
 entations (thoughts\, beliefs and feelings about menopause) are associated
  with menopausal symptoms\, quality of life and mental health in autistic 
 and non-autistic people over a month of time. We found that autistic parti
 cipants consistently showed negative menopause representations\, which pre
 dicted more severe symptoms (menopausal\, depressive\, anxiety) and lower 
 quality of life. These outcomes can contribute to improving awareness of m
 enopause in the autistic population and developing autism-specific support
  for menopause.
