Hypermobility is a condition in which the joints have an unusually large range of motion. Curiously, studies have shown that neurodivergent individuals are more likely to experience hypermobility than the general population.1 What’s more, hypermobility may be a common thread binding neurodivergence to a range of physical health problems.“Joint hypermobility is actually a red herring,” said Jessica Eccles, Ph.D., a researcher at the Department of Neuroscience at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, in an ADDitude webinar. “It is the product of a difference in the cling film in our body — the connective tissue, which is everywhere — which means that joints can move further than they normally should.”Hypermobility doesn’t cause problems for most people.
