Menopause, Neurodivergence, and the Reinvention of Self
By Sarnia de la Maré
Menopause is not just a physical transition. For neurodivergent women, it is a profound psychological, emotional, and social turning point.
Get Your Copy for £4.99Meno ND explores what happens when hormonal change meets lifelong adaptation — when masking becomes unsustainable, energy becomes precious, and old identities begin to unravel.
Written with warmth, intellectual clarity, and deep compassion, this book speaks to autistic, ADHD, and otherwise neurodivergent women navigating midlife in a world that was never designed for them.
Rather than offering quick fixes or toxic positivity, Meno ND provides something rarer: language for complex experience, permission to change, and tools for building a life that is honest, sustainable, and meaningful.
Brain fog, sensory overload, and emotional volatility
The end of masking and the emergence of authenticity
Changing relationships, intimacy, and boundaries
Work, burnout, and economic survival
Creativity, learning, and second lives
Energy management and self-advocacy
Integration, wisdom, and renewed purpose
This is not a medical manual. It is a companion for women who feel disoriented, exhausted, and quietly powerful — women who sense that something is shifting, but have not been given words for it.
Are autistic, ADHD, or identify as neurodivergent
Are in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause
Feel emotionally and cognitively different in midlife
Are questioning old roles and expectations
Want thoughtful, feminist, disability-aware writing
Prefer reflective insight over simplistic advice
Meno ND is for readers who want depth without jargon, honesty without despair, and hope without illusion.

It is about building a life that finally fits.
It is for those who are not "breaking down," but becoming.
