Hi!

It looks like there is a connection with autism and hypermobility. I researched autism and hypermobility.

Are there any hypermobility individuals with autism here? If so what is your experience?

Thanks
Jayson

Please forgive me but what is hyper mobility?
Apologies for the ignorance

Definition from Google.

The joint hypermobility syndrome is considered a benign condition. It is estimated that 10%-15% of normal children have hypermobile joints or joints that can move beyond the normal range of motion. Apr 17, 2014

The part that is important is: "hypermobile joints or joints that can move beyond the normal range of motion."

I am rather flexible, and have a shoulder which my physiotherapist described as being hypermobile.

I am very flexible but never been told that I am hyper mobile, probably not.
Thanks for the definition Jayson.
