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.

I finally have a copy in my hands and I’m not sure I have words yet.
HormoneFULL, not Hormonal began as a question.
Why are so many Autistic women describing puberty, cycles, pregnancy and perimenopause as seismic… and yet being met with silence?
This book is a collective answer.
160 pages.
One year of listening.
101 voices.
Inside are not only lived narratives, but clear, practical guidance on how we can better support Autistic people through hormonal transitions — in homes, in schools, in healthcare settings, and in community.
It is a tribute to those who were shushed.
And a validation for those still trying to make sense of their body.
Holding this feels… full circle. 🤍

Episode 6 of Unlearning Autism is live 🤍
Autistic Family Life with Nicola O’Dwyer
This one feels really special.
Nicola is an Autistic mother to Autistic children, and we talk honestly about what changed when identification entered their family story — the relief, the reframing, the softening, the clarity.
We speak about what it’s like to parent while re-understanding yourself.
What it’s like to see your children more clearly — and yourself too.
And how family life can shift when you move from confusion to recognition.
Nicola is also part of our Wild Women Community, which makes this conversation even more precious to me. I’m so grateful to her for sharing so openly.
If you’re exploring identification — for you or for your child — I think this episode might feel like company.
It’s live now on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
And Nicola — thank you. I’m so proud to share this conversation today 🤍

One of the women in my Wild Women Community said this the other day and I can’t stop thinking about it.
Wild Women is my community space for late identified Autistic ADHD and AuDHD women where we share, connect and belong.
…
When 101 Autistic AFAB voices shared their experiences of hormonal transitions with me, I knew immediately I had something that we all need to know, that needed to be shared, that needs to be heard.
These people for the most part had held this internally never voicing their struggles, or never being heard.
They are now.
“HormoneFULL, not Hormonal: 101 Stories of Lived Experience - Guidance from Autistic Women & AFAB Adults Across the Hormonal Lifespan” is available via my website now www.christinedoyle.ie
…
We have missed so much … so many women lost, internalising their experiences and not recognised as neurodivergent until hormones hit .. hard
…
Integrity means trusting in and loving all of who we are
And not just the more palatable parts
Allowing the self to be, unedited
To shed the nice girl amour
And the need to be liked to feel safe
But to exist authentically
Neither yearning nor hoping
Happy and proud of the truth of who we always were
…
Thank you to all of you who shared your accounts of how hormonal transitions impacted you as an Autistic person over your lifespan. Today I finally get to share all of these voices with you.
HormoneFULL, Not Hormonal brings together the lived experiences of 101 Autistic AFAB adults, exploring how hormonal transitions shape regulation, identity, wellbeing, and daily life across the lifespan.
Puberty.
Menstruation.
Pregnancy and postpartum.
Perimenopause.
Menopause.
These experiences are too often minimised, misattributed, or misunderstood — even within healthcare and mental health systems.
This is not opinion.
It is lived experience, gathered with care.
If you’ve ever felt, “Why is no one talking about this?”
This is for you.

In this My Autistic Musing, I talk about the process of re-remembering.
That stage after discovery where you know you’re Autistic — but you still catch yourself judging, pushing, or holding yourself to standards that were never built for you.
I share how easy it is to slip back into old lenses:
trying harder, second-guessing yourself, overriding your needs — all in the name of external safety.
And I talk about what’s changed for me as I practise re-remembering:
choosing internal safety, trusting my gut, and allowing myself the time, space, and regulation I actually need.
Re-remembering isn’t dramatic.
It’s gentle.
Intentional.
A quiet return to yourself.
If you’re post-discovery and finding yourself forgetting, this one might resonate.
