From Autism in Girls to Autism in Menopause with Gemma Gray

In this episode of Finding Avalon, host Jenna Barnable speaks with Gemma Gray, a PhD student, researcher, and advocate for autistic women. They discuss Gemma's journey to diagnosis, the challenges of masking, the importance of intersectionality in understanding autism, and the unique experiences of raising autistic girls to thrive.

They also explore the impact of menopause on neurodivergent people and challenge misconceptions about autism and disability. The conversation emphasizes the need for awareness, education, and support for autistic people and their families.

From girlhood to womanhood, building resilience is facilitated through family, peer-to-peer and community support - and backed by #ActuallyAustistic research.
