I know people with estrogen have said their ADHD gets worse during perimenopause/menopause, but I'm wondering if people with testosterone 50+ also notice their Autism/ADHD symptoms getting worse. Especially more "inattentive"/stuck in their thoughts.

I feel like we really need more research on all of this.

Thank you. This isn't my first rodeo with an older person and dealing with diabetes/heart issues, but it also doesn't FEEL like cognitive impairment I dealt with then. It reminds me so much of being five steps ahead in my brain (I am an AuDHD'er) and missing the little steps in between. (Like running to the store, coming home, getting what he needed, but forgetting to turn off the car because he was in a hurry to drink his morning "coffee" (mt Dew)

@erosdiscordia @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity Thank you so much. Spouse was designated male at birth, no change in hormones, but this is very helpful and relieves us. I'm not sure a dx is possible due to rural health care, but what you're describing tracks.

We've both been focusing on masking less as well.

@randomgeek @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity I ran out of characters, but is there anything that you can think of that helped.

My go-to would be slowing down and mindfulness work, which I do to help my anxiety and keep me moving one step at a time. I don't believe medication/formal dx would be possible for us easily. (I got mine through the college before grad school, but it was a big process and 100 miles one way)

@randomgeek @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity Thank you so much! That is immensely helpful.

@pathfinder @randomgeek @actuallyautistic @neurodiversity Thank you! That's exactly what it feels like as his spouse. (It very much DOES NOT feel like what my mother dealt with, for example.) I will share this with him and see if it resonates.

With the most likely imminent loss of my day job, I'm thinking of changing my patreon back to my writing.

Would it be too confusing if I had people able to subscribe either by my website, Patreon, or Ream? (Either same benefits each place OR same benefits with bonus short stories on my website.)

I've got a serial idea in the works and I hope to dive into it no later than June.

@peachfront @bookstodon Thanks. I'm thinking about Vella. Radish I had an account with and didn't get any traction there a long time ago and decided that they were too much hassle.

@JoanGrey @bookstodon Thinking about offering exclusive stuff for my website since I'll get more money that way, but otherwise, correct, for people who want Patreon or Ream they can subscribe there. It shouldn't be too much work to update all of them. Good points!

Diving into the concept of jivanmukta (living liberation) for my first Coop Dharma newsletter (reader supported, sliding scale at https://chickenyogi.com/coop-dharma ) Looking forward to diving into this topic and seeing how it applies to neurodivergence.

I know I have several ero rom authors and readers as connections, so here we go! I looked at my spreadsheet and I have a few books ready to go. 🙀 So I'm asking readers to let me know which one they'd like to see first.

Here's the survey: https://forms.gle/tTsXiXks7pUniQRV7

Also got a question about interest in a membership group that includes 125+ books from 5 pen names.
