Psychological distress is a known feature of generalized joint hypermobility (gJHM), as well as of its most common syndromic presentation, namely Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, hypermobility type (a.k.a. joint hypermobility syndrome — JHS/EDS‐HT), and significantly contributes to the quality of life of affected individuals. Most published articles dealt with the link between gJHM (or JHS/EDS‐HT) and anxiety‐related conditions, and a novel generation of studies is emerging aimed at investigating the…

Joint Hypermobility Links Neurodivergence to Dysautonomia and Pain

There is a strong link between the expression of joint hypermobility, dysautonomia, and pain, more so than in the comparison group and the number of hypermobile joints was found to mediate the relationship between neurodivergence and symptoms of both dysautonomic and pain.

Considering the high probability that pain remains disregarded and untreated in people with ASD due to communication and methodological difficulties, increasing awareness about the interconnection between ASD and hypermobility-related disorders is relevant, since it may help identify those ASD patients susceptible to chronic pain.

ASD with GJH may represent a novel subgroup of ASD in terms of aetiopathology and clinical presentation and future research should elucidate the aetiological factors behind the association between ASD and GjH and evaluate how the comorbidity of GJh affects ASD outcomes.

Although GJH is overrepresented in clinical cases with neurodevelopmental disorders, such an association seems absent in a normal population, and this association is presumably limited to clinical populations.
