  • 24: EDS, MCAS, POTS and the Neurodivergent Link ADHD/ASD: Part 2 of why you feel like sh!t all the time...
    Jul 23 2025

    Are you bendy, itchy, or dizzy all the time? You might be struggling to balance the trifecta of symptoms syndromes…

    This research episode of The Neurodivergent Report features orthotics researcher Sam Silverman, along with the full @ndreportpod team! Together, we explore the interconnectedness of these often-overlooked chronic conditions and how they disproportionately affect neurodivergent people.

    Curious what’s inside:

    • Defining MCAS, POTS, and EDS in plain terms

    • What the research says about comorbidity and prevalence (who even gets this?)

    • The importance of coordinated and compassionate medical care teams

    If it feels like your body just called it quits one day… YOU’RE NOT ALONE. This episode is for anyone who’s been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or just trying to get through the day in a body that won’t cooperate.

    However you are able to engage, thanks for being here!

    Love, Sarah 💜

  • 23: Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos and ADHD / ASD: Part 1 - The physical mind-body link that explains why neurodivergents feel like sh!t
    Jul 18 2025

    What’s the connection between chronic pain, misdiagnosis, and neurodivergent health?

    This week’s episode takes a deep dive into Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and what it reveals about our healthcare system.

    On this episode of The Neurodivergent Report, we explore the complex genetic overlap between the neurodivergence spectrum and chronic health conditions, particularly hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).

    From diagnosis delays to hormonal impacts and gender bias, we unpack what it's like to live in a body that’s often misunderstood.

    Curious what’s inside:

    • What hypermobility actually is and why it takes so long to diagnose

    • The strong genetic link between hEDS, ADHD, and autism

    • How gender hormones affect symptoms and care

    Listen now for coping strategies, community support, and a vision for better systems of identification and care!
