Great to see these correlations being made, many in my family are hypermobile, have anxiety disorder and diagnosed autistic, ADHD. It's understandable with a connective tissue disorder (dislike the term disorder, with 20% of the population it's a variation, not disorder in my eyes although I acknowledge it can be problematic) that our relationship with our environment and our selves is going to be some what different to someone without, we have hightened input. I notice that along with that hightened input we are sensitive in other ways and I notice maybe above average psychic abilities too, maybe we feel subtle energies others might miss. For people with CTD the world is not an easy place to live in and as much as we can benefit from having a better understanding of ourselves and learn technics that support our well being I believe the world needs to bend with us.

Thank you for your research. I‘m hypermobile and have struggled with a loooot of anxiety all of my life, the outcomes of this research could be life changing in the future

It's only because my daughter has been researching her own severe ME/CFS and POTS that we are learning about the connections with autism/ADHD, which she also has and I think I have, and a whole host of conditions I've had since childhood up to now, all seemingly unrelated and treated as such by all my doctors. I'm hypermobile, a great advantage for dancing and aerobics. She has to educate her doctors and doctor-shop to try to find one who is at least sympathetic to current knowledge. So many family members with one or other thing, even beyond our familial metabolic syndrome spectrum of disorders.
