Studies show that people with joint hypermobility, Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS), and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) have a higher likelihood of being autistic than would be expected by chance.It is believed that certain genes associated with Autism may also play a role in the development of hypermobility. Additionally, sensory processing difficulties common in Autism may contribute to the development of hypermobility symptoms.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 syndrome is connected to autism : Single gene disorders which include both autosomal and X-linked defects associated with autism as a feature include tuberous sclerosis (TSC1 and TSC2 genes), neurofibromatosis (NF1 and NF2 genes), X-linked Rett (MECP2 gene) and fragile X (FMR1 gene) syndromes.
What percentage of EDS have autism
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) occurs in as many as 8% of autistic individuals with even a higher percentage that may have hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) (Cederlof et al., 2016, Kindgren et al., 2021).
Should people with EDS have kids : Depending on the type of EDS, patients may also be at an increased risk of severe bleeding after pregnancy. Because of the potential risks associated with becoming pregnant and passing on the disease, you may want to discuss reproductive options with your doctor and a genetic counselor.
Due to the collagen in the skin being extra stretchy, many EDS patients experience a lack of wrinkles as they age. This collagen may help EDS patients look younger and can also cause skin to feel extremely soft. Doctor's even describe the skin as “velvet-soft”.
Joint hypermobility with its possible musculoskeletal complications is expressed along a spectrum. At one end is hypermobility which causes no symptoms, at the other is hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and in between are the hypermobility spectrum disorders.
Is EDS linked to ADHD
Cederlöf et al. (2016) demonstrated in a large population-based case-control study that individuals with EDS or HSD, and their unaffected siblings, are at a significantly increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders including ADHD (5.6 times more likely).What Environmental Factors May Be Associated With Autism
Advanced parental age at time of conception.
Prenatal exposure to air pollution or certain pesticides.
Maternal obesity, diabetes, or immune system disorders.
Extreme prematurity or very low birth weight.
There are other brain disorders that mimic autism symptoms, like ADHD and anxiety disorders, including selective mutism. Autism can be misdiagnosed as another disorder with some shared symptoms.
Due to the collagen in the skin being extra stretchy, many EDS patients experience a lack of wrinkles as they age. This collagen may help EDS patients look younger and can also cause skin to feel extremely soft. Doctor's even describe the skin as “velvet-soft”.
Can EDS get worse with age : Everyone's bones become weaker with age. In EDS patients with hypermobile joints, weakening bones can make the symptoms of the disease more severe as it progresses.
Are most people with EDS skinny : People with EDS tend to have a "marfanoid" appearance (e.g., tall, skinny, long arms and legs, "spidery" fingers), but physical appearance and features in several types of EDS also have characteristics including short stature, large eyes, and the appearance of a small mouth and chin, due to a small palate.
Is Ehlers-Danlos related to ADHD
Cederlöf et al. (2016) demonstrated in a large population-based case-control study that individuals with EDS or HSD, and their unaffected siblings, are at a significantly increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders including ADHD (5.6 times more likely).
To date, 13 individuals with molecularly diagnosed SLC39A13-related spEDS have been reported [5, 7–9] and this is the first report from India to the best of our knowledge. EDS group of disorders is not associated with short stature.Due to the collagen in the skin being extra stretchy, many EDS patients experience a lack of wrinkles as they age. This collagen may help EDS patients look younger and can also cause skin to feel extremely soft. Doctor's even describe the skin as “velvet-soft”.
Is EDS an OCD : Eating disorders (ED) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) appear in separate chapters of the current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5-TR) (American Psychiatric Association (APA), 2022) and are generally regarded as different conditions that often co-occur and share common …
