Résumé

Contexte : La transition ménopausique survient couramment entre 45 et 55 ans. Dans la population générale, les fluctuations hormonales entraînent une série de changements biologiques, psychologiques et sociaux. Récemment, la recherche a commencé à se concentrer sur les expériences de la ménopause des personnes autistes. Méthodes : Nous avons entrepris une revue systématique, enregistrée prospectivement (PROSPERO : CRD42023450736), des recherches et des témoignages de première main issus de la littérature grise relatifs à l'autisme et à la ménopause. Nous avons utilisé l'approche de synthèse intégrée convergente du Joanna Briggs Institute. Résultats : Notre recherche a identifié huit études et sept documents de littérature grise, comprenant principalement des personnes autistes. Aucune étude n'a évalué d'interventions ni fourni de données provenant de personnes soutenant des personnes autistes. Nous avons élaboré trois thèmes. Premièrement, « connaissances sur la transition ménopausique et soutien par les pairs » était axé sur le manque de connaissances des personnes autistes concernant les symptômes de la ménopause, y compris les différences pour les personnes autistes, et sur le rôle du soutien par les pairs dans l'acquisition de connaissances. Deuxièmement, « expériences des personnes autistes concernant les symptômes ménopausiques » décrit un large éventail de symptômes négatifs qui avaient parfois des répercussions importantes sur la santé mentale et les activités quotidiennes. Des données quantitatives limitées ont mis en évidence une sévérité accrue des symptômes de la ménopause chez les personnes autistes par rapport à des groupes de comparaison non autistes. Les symptômes de la ménopause avaient des répercussions sur le travail et les relations, et il existait une interrelation entre les symptômes ménopausiques et les identités autistes. Troisièmement, « traitement des symptômes de la ménopause » décrit des approches non médicales et médicales, y compris le traitement hormonal substitutif, visant à réduire les répercussions des symptômes. La plupart des rapports sur les traitements médicaux ont mis en évidence des obstacles à l'accès ou des expériences négatives lors des rendez-vous. Conclusion : Il existe un besoin manifeste de meilleurs soutiens liés à la ménopause pour les personnes autistes. Cela devrait inclure des informations adaptées à l'autisme afin d'accroître les connaissances sur la ménopause et sur la manière dont elle peut affecter les personnes autistes. Des informations correspondantes devraient également être disponibles pour les professionnels de santé, et les obstacles systémiques aux soins de santé devraient aussi être réduits afin de donner aux personnes autistes les meilleures chances de recevoir un soutien lié à la ménopause. Le soutien par les pairs spécifique à l'autisme concernant la ménopause pourrait mériter une évaluation.

Background: The menopause transition commonly occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 years. In a general population, hormonal shifts result in a range of biological, psychological, and social changes. Recently, research has begun to focus on Autistic people's experiences of the menopause. Methods: We undertook a prospectively registered (PROSPERO: CRD42023450736) systematic review of research and first-hand accounts from grey literature related to Autism and menopause. We utilised the Joanna Briggs Institute convergent integrated synthesis approach. Results: Our search identified eight studies and seven pieces of grey literature, primarily comprising Autistic people. No studies evaluated interventions or provided data from those supporting Autistic people. We developed three themes. First, "knowledge of the menopause transition and peer support" focused on Autistic people's lack of knowledge of menopause symptoms, including differences for Autistic people, and the role of peer support in obtaining knowledge. Second, "Autistic people's experiences of menopausal symptoms" describes a broad range of negative symptoms which sometimes had significant impacts on mental health and daily activities. Limited quantitative evidence highlighted increased menopause symptom severity for Autistic people compared to non-Autistic comparison groups. Menopause symptoms impacted on work and relationships, and there was an inter-relationship between menopausal symptoms and Autistic identities. Third, "treatment of menopause symptoms" describes non-medical and medical approaches, including Hormone Replacement Therapy, to reduce symptom impacts. Most reports of medical treatment highlighted barriers to access, or negative experiences of appointments. Conclusion: There is a clear need for better menopause supports for Autistic people. This should include Autism-friendly information to increase knowledge of menopause, and how it may impact Autistic people. Corresponding information should also be available for health professionals, with systemic barriers to healthcare also reduced to allow the best chance for Autistic people to receive menopause support. Autism-specific menopause peer support may be worthy of evaluation.
