You've spent years figuring out how to function in a world that doesn't always work with your brain. So why does everything suddenly feel harder?
Maybe your ability to focus has changed. Your sensory sensitivities feel more intense. You're more easily overwhelmed, your emotions feel less predictable, or the systems you've relied on to stay organized are no longer working.
Perhaps you've always experienced some of these challenges but managed to compensate for them. Or maybe you're noticing patterns that have you questioning whether ADHD or autism has been part of your story all along.
And then there's perimenopause.
Hormonal fluctuations during midlife can influence sleep, cognition, mood, and stress responses. For neurodivergent women, these changes may interact with existing differences in executive functioning, sensory processing, and emotional regulation.
So how do we begin making sense of what's hormonal, what's neurodevelopmental, and where they overlap?
Join Veraluna Wellness for a FREE educational webinar exploring the intersection of perimenopause, ADHD, autism, and the internal experiences of neurodivergent women navigating midlife.
ADHD, Autism & Perimenopause: Understanding the differences and areas of overlap, including why these experiences can be difficult to distinguish.
The Hormonal Connection: How fluctuating estrogen and other hormonal changes may influence attention, cognitive functioning, sleep, and emotional well-being.
Executive Functioning in Midlife: Why organization, working memory, task initiation, and managing competing demands may become more challenging.
Masking, Compensation & Burnout: How years of adapting, overfunctioning, and meeting expectations can affect capacity during midlife.
Sensory & Nervous System Experiences: Understanding changes in sensory tolerance, overwhelm, irritability, and the need for recovery.
Our Internal System: Exploring protective patterns, self-criticism, perfectionism, and the emotional responses that may arise when familiar strategies stop working.
Support & Self-Advocacy: Identifying accommodations, supportive strategies, and appropriate medical or neurodevelopmental evaluation.
This webinar is for women who identify as ADHD, autistic, or AuDHD; women exploring the possibility of neurodivergence; and professionals interested in understanding how hormonal transitions may interact with neurodevelopmental differences.
You don't need to have a formal diagnosis to benefit from this conversation.
Our goal isn't to determine which label explains every experience. It's to build a more informed, compassionate understanding of how multiple factors may be interacting—and what support might help.

You know something feels different. But finding the words to explain it isn't always easy.
Maybe you're more easily overwhelmed. Your sleep has changed. You're struggling to concentrate, experiencing unfamiliar anxiety, or noticing that your patience and capacity aren't what they used to be.
Maybe you're doing all the same things you've always done, but suddenly, they aren't working the same way.
For many women, these experiences can be connected to perimenopause—a hormonal transition that can affect far more than menstrual cycles and hot flashes.
Join Veraluna Wellness for a FREE educational webinar exploring how perimenopause can influence the body, brain, nervous system, and emotional well-being.
Understanding Perimenopause: What it is, when it can begin, and why symptoms may appear before menstrual changes.
Beyond Hot Flashes: Common and lesser-known symptoms, including brain fog, joint discomfort, anxiety, irritability, and sleep disruption.
The Brain–Body Connection: How changing hormones can influence cognition, mood, stress responses, and physical well-being.
Our Internal System: How emotional responses and protective patterns may emerge as we navigate physical and psychological changes.
Curiosity & Compassion: Ways to better recognize your experiences, understand your needs, and seek appropriate support.
Workplace Awareness: An introduction to Illinois' new menopause-related workplace accommodation protections taking effect January 1, 2027.
Whether you're navigating these changes yourself or supporting someone who is, this webinar offers education, practical perspectives, and a more compassionate understanding of this stage of life.
