Does anyone know about Hypermobility and Autism? There is nothing on this site, yet it is mentioned elsewhere on the internet. Apparently they often go together. I am hypermobile but didn't realise until today that they could be connected...

Hypermobility is part of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and I believe there is a strong link with autism. This video explains the kinds of things the condition includes and it is a lot!

There have been some interesting videos on Aucademy recently about 'all the things', which features EDS. The US doctor interviewed has done quite a lot of research on the things autists tend to suffer from.

Thank you for your detailed response to me, I will wade through it all in my quest to deeply understand it. If I don't reply to all the responses to my posts, does it matter? I am a bit of a luddite and have never done forums/posts before and don't do social media. Do I have to trail through all the posts to see if someone has repliied, or is there one place they all go?

I've just done that and everything is ticked. I get myself in a dreadful panic with anything technical - it is the work of the devil...thank you for helping me though!
