Favourite special interest facts

1. You can make a dental dam by cutting off the top and bottom of a condom and cutting it in half vertically. It's often much cheaper than buying an actual dental dams
2. Some people live their whole lives not knowing they have Mosaic Trisomy 21 (Mosaic Down Syndrome), as it often results in less facial differences and less severe health complications
3. Sloths are excellent swimmers and can hold their breath longer than dolphins
4. Not really a fun fact, but I know nearly every single LGBTQIA+ pride flag and their definitions. However, I don't know what the colours always represent for each individual flag
5. There is a massive overlap between neurodivergence, being sexually and/or gender diverse, and having a chronic condition/illness. There hasn't been enough published studies into it to have a percentage, but from professional and personal experience, I'd say it's quite high

Interesting facts.  Thanks for sharing them

Sloths is a cool interest. I'd never have guessed in a million years they were such good swimmers. 

No. 5 definitely rings true. Not for the first time, I the other day looked up something I've been told I have - in this case mild scoliosis/kyphosis only to find an autism prevalence among people with that thing. In this case, it turns out that 40% of males who have Scoliosis are autistic. According to one clinic for that condition who carried out a survey of their clients/patients.
