Hormones are chemical messengers. When they shift — during puberty, periods, or later in life — they turn up the volume on your neurodistinct traits. This changes how you eat.

Puberty is a time of chemical chaos. For neurodistinct young people, it can completely rewire how your senses work and what food feels like.

If you have periods, the hormone shifts each month can change your appetite, your sensory limits, and your energy. The week before a period can make everything feel louder and food feel harder.
Periods shift hormones. Changes appetite, senses, energy. Week before is hardest.

If food feels impossible on certain days, that is your hormones, not your willpower. Eat whatever your body will accept. That is enough.
Food impossible some days? Hormones. Not willpower. Eat what you can.

Many people find out they are autistic or ADHD later in life — in their thirties, forties, or fifties. For women, this often collides with perimenopause, when hormone levels drop.

Late diagnosis and hormones.
There is a name for what happens to neurodistinct people across the hormonal journey from puberty to perimenopause. It is called the double awakening. The first awakening is puberty — when hormones turn up the volume on your traits. The second awakening is perimenopause — when hormone levels drop and your traits shift again. Both are real. Both are biological. Neither means you are getting worse.
The double awakening. Puberty turns up traits. Perimenopause shifts them again. Both real. Both biological. Not getting worse.
Double awakening. Puberty and perimenopause. Both real. Not getting worse.
Two awakenings. Both real.
If you are a young person reading this, the first awakening is happening to you right now. Your brain and body are changing. Your senses, your appetite, your energy — they are all being rewritten. This is not your fault. It is not a regression. It is chemistry. If someone in your life is going through the second awakening, be patient. They are learning who they are all over again — this time without the mask.
Young person? First awakening happening now. Brain and body changing. Not your fault. Chemistry. Someone going through second awakening? Be patient. Learning who they are.
First awakening now. Changing. Not your fault. Be patient with second awakening.
Changing. Not your fault.
If a woman in your life — your mum, an aunt, a carer — is going through the second awakening, there is a page written for them in the adult edition. A grown-up can find it there.

When your hormones shift, your rules must soften. You do not owe anyone a perfect diet. You just need to care for the body you are in today.
Hormones shift? Rules soften. No perfect diet. Care for your body today.
