Menopause is not just a physical transition.
For neurodivergent women, it is a profound psychological, emotional, and social turning point.
Meno 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.
Through reflective essays and lived insight, Sarnia de la Maré explores:
• 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.
Meno ND is for readers who want depth without jargon, honesty without despair, and hope without illusion.
It is for those who are not “breaking down,” but becoming.

✔ Are in perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause
