Hypermobility & Ehlers Danlos syndrome in Autism and ADHD

Exploring Hypermobility & Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and its connection to Autism & ADHD.

Hypermoblie Ehlers Danlos Syndrome or Hypermobile Spectrum Disorder (hEDS/HSD) is a misunderstood, under researched and often underdiagnosed condition. For many of us, it takes years, numerous doctors visits and lots of personal research and advocacy to access the support we desperately need.

For neurodivergent individuals, Hypermoblie Elhers Danlos Syndrome or Hypermobile Specturum Disorder (hEDS/HSD) isn't just "being flexible" – it's a complex, often invisible physical condition that magnifies autism/ADHD challenges. Yet this critical link is frequently missed, leaving you trapped in a cycle of pain, exhaustion, and frustration.

Stop being told "it's all in your head." Join our evidence-based webinar delivered by an autistic and ADHD person with lived experience of a hypermobility disorder, designed specifically for the autism/ADHD community navigating hypermobility. Finally understand the why behind your experiences and discover actionable pathways to relief.

In this session, you'll learn:

Signs and symptoms hEDS & HSD

Diagnosis and challenges in accessing a diagnosis

Common co-occurring conditions, including Autism and ADHD

An overview of support strategies for mental/emotional and physical impacts

This is your roadmap to being believed, reducing suffering, and reclaiming agency in a body and brain that often feel unpredictable.
