Autism and Chronic Pain: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

This talk delves into the challenges of diagnosing Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD), particularly why the journey to diagnosis is often lengthy and complex. It explores the different subtypes of EDS and HSD, their manifestations—including hypermobility and related symptoms—and the conditions that often co-occur. A key focus is on the potential link between neurodivergence and hypermobility, shedding light on why autistic and ADHD individuals may be more prone to these conditions. Additionally, the discussion offers practical advice on self-care and strategies to support children with EDS or HSD both at home and in school.
