'Hyper and Happy'

Understanding Hypermobility as a Key to Neurodiverse Wellbeing

While hyperactivity and hypersensitivity are familiar aspects of neurodiversity, hypermobility—a physical condition affecting joints, connective tissue, and the nervous system—is rarely discussed. Yet its connection to neurodiversity is now scientifically supported and widely observed.

I draw from decades of hands-on experience to share how recognising hypermobility can shift our perspective:

From waiting for diagnoses to spotting visible signs of hypermobility and offering immediate, practical support.

From viewing visceral hypermobility and the associated Fright, Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn responses as character traits or behaviour issues, to understanding them as underlying physical, neurological, and emotional patterns.

From overlooking the trauma of hypermobility to realising how this trauma can lead to addictive patterns with toddlers to teenagers and into adult life.

From minimising trauma and stress in adults and children, to actively enabling them to achieve greater enjoyment, wellbeing, and brilliance.

I share how our attitude and words can support the instability of hypermobility and enable each adult or child to shine in their own unique ways.
