I’ve never heard of this before but I have ASD too and relate to a lot the symptoms above. I don’t want to self diagnose or anything but could this possibly be why I getBumping this thread. I'm diagnosed with PMDD and can't have hormonal contraceptives due to this. I also have ASD, anecdotal evidence seems to indicate there is a large crossover between the conditions.
My GP prescribed buspirone to take on the bad week which has completely changed my life. It's an anxiety medication and it takes away my urge to react in extreme ways (I do still need to be aware and exercise self control, but tracking my cycle and knowing what week it is does help). I'm here to recommend this to anyone who hasn't heard of it.
suicidal
eta: diagnosed with autism, and I have had depression as a teen but I don’t really suffer now besides the week before my period, sometimes the week after but not too common
