The link between ND and hypermobility is wild, I can see how thinks like ADHD and dyslexia would come hand in hand but being more likely to be extra bendy is a new one.
My daughter has been under assessment for 8 years for ASD and 3 for ADHD and she's really bendy, dancer and always flipping and spinning etc. She's had some wrist issues this past year with no obvious cause and whilst I'm only 1% wiser than I was 5 minutes ago, I think it's probably worth considering that thing that you talked about but I can't remember what it's called because I'm commenting on a separate page. 🤦♂️ I'll have to bookmark this to come back to.
Thank you for such a well written and insightful post!
Thanks for reading! As a newly diagnosed ADHder, I’ve been enjoying earning my PhD hyper focusing on ADHD 🧐 and have been learning some interesting stuff, this HSD/hypermobility stuff included. Check out the EDS website for more information on hypermobility conditions: https://www.ehlers-danlos.com/
I certainly will stay tuned, December for me, I may have some misaligned idea that medication is a magic bullet, but I’m medicating with nicotine at the moment, as I have my entire adult life, and so if the only positive is I can stop with that, I’ll be happy!

Thanks for the website Rachel, predictably after my last comment I forgot all about it so I have this website opened in my bookmarks now!
I’m only 3 months diagnosed and am hopefully weeks away from trying out some drugs, fingers crossed they help. How “new” are you?
Good luck with the PHD.
I was diagnosed in July, though still calibrating the medications. Stay tuned…
