But how is the period experience different for neurotypical vs neurodivergent girls ? Neurotypical girls may feel periods as inconvenient or uncomfortable ( in general: sometimes with exception) Autistic girls often experience periods as intense and overwhelming, because of heightened sensory sensitivity (wetness, cramps, textures) and a stronger need for predictability. It’s not just a physical experience, it can be a sensory and emotional overload. #Periods #AutisticGirls #Neurodivergent #PeriodEducation #FirstPeriod ParentingTips SensoryFriendly AutismSupport MenstrualHealth WUKA
