RARE Disease DAY to raise awareness for rare diseases. For Ehlers-Danlos, we have 13 named types. Do you have a rare type like Classical or Vascular EDS? The 13th is hypermobility EDS (hEDS); 80-90% have it or the closely related HSD, we believe to be rare as rarely diagnosed. #EDS #HSD #vEDS #cEDS

Thank you. I regularly present and write on this including think tanks but understanding our movement #neurodivergence #hypermobility takes time.

The Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a group of 13 heritable connective tissue disorders. Some features are seen across all types of #EDS, including joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. Learn more: www.ehlers-danlos.com/what-is-eds/ #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Health

According to Professor Grahame "No other condition in the history of modern medicine has been neglected in such a way as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome" (including HSD) #EDS #HSD #hypermobility

The first peer reviewed paper (Golden Access) 2023 on neurodivergence (#Autism #ADHD, #dyspraxia +) & hypermobilty in education. Fantastic collaboration with Dr Donaghy DMoore. My passion and my first paper. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @SEDSConnective.org

The National Institutes of Health had to stop considering new grant applications, delaying funding for research into diseases ranging from heart disease and cancer to Alzheimer's and allergies.

Wrt the lived experience/3rd person science debate: The pleasure of listening to music cannot be reduced to the properties of sound waves. Listening to music will not reveal the properties of sound waves. The two should be continuous.

Neurodivergence means having a brain that behaves, learns, and processes differently from the typical majority. #neurodivergent #neurodivergence #autism #ADHD #Dyspraxia #Dyslexia #Dyscalculia Neurodiversity is about ALL brains being different. #neurotypical #neurodiversity

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… We made a complaint over language and terminology and we were delighted it was upheld. They have changed it to neurodivergent individuals after our explanation of what neurodivergent and neurodivergence is plus more clarification of auditory processing disorder.

A4 We need to be vocal about the need to include people with disabilities in all stages of #AI development. It is too easy to be left out of discussions. Companies on their own may choose to ignore us which is why we need regulations to compel the industry to work with the disabled people. #AXSChat

As a person with lived experience, a dedicated advocate, fundraiser and changemaker in healthcare, education, policy change and research particularly with neurological conditions such as ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia,

The connections SEDSConnective have pioneered on hypermobility & neurodivergence with the help of key researchers like our Patron @Bendybrain.bsky.social and our Chair/ founder Jane Green MBE @JGjanegreenMBE.bsky.social are being more understood🙏 26th Feb

Have you seen my linktr'ee ? linktr.ee/JaneGreenSEDS Some of my health and education articles, press and the peer reviewed Paper on neurodivergence and hypermobility is here. Do have a look!

Birthdays are for life For those parents/carers who post about neurodivergent children not being invited to birthday parties I need to tell you something A) they probably don’t see your posts B)

So important and first peer reviewed paper on #Autism #ADHD #dyspraxia coocurring health which is often masked and misattributed. Think EF, brainfog, fatigue, pain 'anxiety' attendance issues. #edspsych #teaching #education

#InternationalDayofWomenAndGirlsinScience We are delighted to celebrate #IDWGS and a quote from our Patron, Dr Eccles, a pioneer in science. 'Science is how we drive things forward.... 1/3⬇️

I am sure voluntary charities trying to make a difference need advocates or volunteers like @sedsconnective.org if you want to really help :)

What a webinar I wanted to keep asking questions but had to ensure others had their questions too. I think we’ll do more #sedation #anaesthetics #connectiveTissues #phobias
