About Bridging the Silos
Bridging the Silos: Autistic Menopause Study is a research partnership between autistic advocates and academics studying experiences of menopause by autistic people in Canada, the UK, and beyond.
The project asks how autistic people experience menopause and how they can better access information, services, and supports that might help them. While the first two phases of the project focused on experiences in Canada and the UK, Phase 3, an international survey, will include participants from around the world.
Bridging the Silos is funded by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Follow us on Twitter: @Autmenopause
