Episode 78 - Stretchy Joints, Wandering Minds: How ADHD and Hypermobility Collide

What this episode covers

Join Paul and Martin (co-ex mayors of ADHDville) in this eye-opening episode of ADHDville as they explore the fascinating link between ADHD and hypermobility (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). Did you know people with ADHD are twice as likely to have hypermobile joints? From chronic pain to sensory sensitivities, the duo dives into the science, personal experiences, and why this overlap matters. Some Topics Covered: * What is hypermobility, and how is it connected to ADHD? * Shared symptoms: clumsiness, chronic pain, and posture struggles * Why ADHDers might ignore pain—until it's too late * Celebrities like David Bowie and Simone Biles who have both * The genetics behind it (spoiler: thank your family's collagen!) Whether you're bendy, ADHD, or just curious, this episode is packed with laughs, insights, and a few tractor metaphors. 🚜 📌 Subscribe for fresh ADHD content every Tuesday! 📌 Comment below—do YOU have hypermobility?
