In this episode of Real Integrative Medicine, Dr. Jordan Robertson sits down with Dr. Katie Thomson Aitken to explore a topic that’s often misunderstood: autism, especially in women.

We unpack what late diagnoses can mean for confidence, self-compassion, and care. You’ll learn how autistic burnout differs from depression and stress, why so many women go undiagnosed, and why support and accommodation matter with or without a label.

Whether you're autistic, neurodivergent, or just curious, this episode offers thoughtful insights, compassion, and a much-needed reframe of what it means to belong.

They discuss the hormonal changes that lead to sleep disturbances, the importance of an integrative approach to sleep management, and effective behavioural strategies to improve sleep quality. The conversation emphasizes the need for awareness of sleep hygiene and the impact of daily habits on overall well-being, particularly during the perimenopausal phase. Dr. Laurie introduces her eight-week program designed to empower individuals to take charge of their sleep during this transitional phase, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach that considers hormonal changes, behavioural strategies, and personal accountability.
