🚧 Under Construction — Early Access

Peripause

Perimenopause, neurodivergence, and the perfect storm nobody warned you about

This space is being built for autistic and ADHD women navigating a hormonal transition that hits harder, starts earlier, and is almost never explained in terms that make sense for our brains. You're not falling apart. The system just wasn't built with you in mind.

Tools are available now. Full resource hub coming soon. →

What the research actually says

Earlier Onset
Up to 10 years earlier

Women with ADHD may enter perimenopause up to a decade earlier than average — with peak symptom severity often between ages 35–39.

📊
Higher Impact
63% report it as peak

63% of ADHD women report that perimenopause was the highest-impact period of their lives — not menopause itself.

🎭
Unmasking Effect
Late diagnoses spike

Hormonal shifts often disrupt decades of masking, leading to first-time autism and ADHD diagnoses in the 40s and 50s.

🧠
The Dopamine Link
Estrogen → dopamine

Estrogen plays a direct role in dopamine production. As it drops, executive dysfunction, sensory overload, and emotional dysregulation all worsen — not because of anything you did wrong.

Tools available right now

Both are free, private, and built specifically for neurodivergent women.

Hormonal Symptom Navigator

Map your current symptoms to possible hormonal patterns — low estrogen, low progesterone, testosterone, cortisol. Includes specific notes for neurodivergent women, post-hysterectomy situations, and HRT users. Generates a summary you can bring to your provider.

Cycle Compass

For women who bleed on the inside — if you've had a hysterectomy with ovaries intact, your cycle didn't stop. This quiz uses energy, mood, smell, joints, masking capacity, and body signals to identify which hormonal phase you're likely in right now.
