I’m Christine Doyle — a late-identified Autistic & ADHD (AuDHD) woman, podcast host, speaker, trainer, and community builder
Through my 1:1 Post-Identification Companion Sessions, the Wild Women Community, and my podcast Unlearning Autism, I create spaces for reflection, connection, and unlearning. My focus is supporting Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD women after late discovery — exploring identity, masking, sensory worlds, burnout, relationships, and belonging.
It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions, validating lived truths, and walking alongside others as they make sense of who they are.

My lifelong love of self-help books is inextricably linked to me being Autistic
I know now it was my attempt to find the ‘rule book for life’
Convinced that the wisdom I needed was within these pages
If only I could find the right one, the right ‘fit’
So I kept on buying and accumulating
my beloved shelf decorators
But fell out of love with reading them as the message within always encouraged a modification that felt beyond my grasp
And in doing so, they were not much help at all!
Spoiler - the clarity I fervently sought came in identification, in validation, and in adjusting my lifestyle and mindset to support my Autistic (unbroken, not in need of fixing) self.

💬 What happens when 101 Autistic women share their puberty stories?
✨ A chorus of voices — raw, real, and often unheard — showing us just how much support is missing, and how much better we can do.
Puberty is never just “hormonal.”
For Autistic girls, it can mean:
⚡ heightened sensory overwhelm
⚡ emotional dysregulation
⚡ struggles with masking and friendships
⚡ confusion around what’s “normal”
🌸 Puberty & the Autistic Experience is the first handbook of its kind — built from the lived experiences of over 100 Autistic women. It’s both a resource and a call for change.
📖 Part 1 of the Hormone-FULL not Hormonal series is available now at christinedoyle.ie

You may have seen the claim that “92% of Autistic women meet criteria for PMDD.”
It’s a striking number — but it isn’t the whole truth.
That figure comes from a 2008 study with only 26 participants, all identified in childhood, all with learning disabilities, and with menstruation reported through carers.
Important? Yes. Definitive? No.
The reality is much more complex. Studies since then show rates of PMDD in Autistic AFABs ranging from 14% to 92%. And that wide gap is why I carried out my own large-scale study with 101 Autistic women, asking us directly about our lived experiences.
💡 The result is my handbook: Menstruation and the Autistic Experience — over 50 pages exploring PMS, PMDD, what the research says, what actually helps, and reflections from lived experience.
It’s time to move beyond scary headlines and start listening to Autistic voices.

The words we are given shape us.
They sting, they silence, they isolate.
And yet, sometimes they hold glimmers —
tiny clues pointing to a truth beneath.
Fussy. Dramatic. Sensitive. Weird.
Oversharer. Self-absorbed. Space cadet.
Passionate. Stubborn. Hormonal.
For many late-identified people,
these words became the soundtrack of growing up.
They were not the whole story —
but they were signposts, overlooked for too long.
This is not to say that hearing these words means you are Autistic.
It is to say that for those of us who are,
they were echoes that made sense only later,
when the missing piece of identity was finally named.
Late discovery is often this:
translating the words that harmed us
into truths that honour us.
What words did you hear?
And what translations make more sense to you now?
