Beyond bendy joints: number of variant connective tissue features predicts neurodivergent characteristics in hypermobile individuals with anxiety

The goal of this study was to determine whether the number of connective tissue features in hypermobility is associated with the level of neurodivergent characteristics and establish whether autonomic reactivity may be an explanatory factor in the relationship between variant connective tissue and neurodivergent characteristics. 99 adult participants were assessed for joint hypermobility syndrome/hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos-Syndrome and filled out screening questionnaires for autism and ADHD. 99%…
