Bendy joints, stretchy skin, clumsiness. Why hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is often missed – and what it has to do with autism

"There is growing interest in a connective tissue condition called
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

As more adults are diagnosed with autism, some might not be aware their history
of bendy joints and clumsiness are indications they may also have a common form
of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

What is this condition and how are the two diagnoses connected?"
