Autism and Chronic Pain: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

Описание к видео Autism and Chronic Pain: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome

The journey to a diagnosis of an Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) is often a long and challenging road. In this month of May, EDS and HSD awareness month, let’s explore why this is. Is it as hard as we are led to believe? And why are there so many barriers to finding out if you are indeed hyper mobile or have EDS?
We are going explore:

What EDS and HSD and their subtypes are and how they manifest, including hypermobility and other symptoms

What else can be experienced alongside?

Are neurodivergent people more likely to be hypermobile or to have an EDS?

How can you take care of yourself ?

How can we support children in school and at home?
