One Weird Comorbidity Of EDS Is Actually Autism! People With EDS Are Six Or Seven Times More Likely To

One weird comorbidity of EDS is actually autism! People with EDS are six or seven times more likely to also have autism!

I have basically no access to care at this point because I live in hell (florida), but would *like* to see someone eventually to look into EDS and comorbidities…wtf do I do? I have no idea how to get anyone to take me seriously and I have an incredibly hard time not completely shutting down during appointments because of medical trauma and being autistic; at this point I’m thinking about making a binder with symptoms (and make a section for each area of my body, past diagnoses, research articles, etc.) but I don’t know. I just want to be taken seriously, and that’s assuming I can even get care. Right now I’m stuck with a fucking dick of an NP just because I need *someone* to prescribe my psych meds. (He also prescribed my T, which he can no longer do at this point because of FL’s new laws…he’s fighting that but I think I just may go off T at this point because I don’t really trust this man at all; I know what I’m doing with my psych meds because I’ve been on them for 6 years but need someone I feel safe with to help with my HRT.)

Or improvise😂

This is the plot of KOTLC.

So I’m reading fourth wing and I just. The main character is just so me, like she talks about how she’s more fragile and breakable than other people DUE TO HER LIGAMENTS AND MUSCLES NOT HOLDING HER JOINTS IN PLACE. IM A GIRL WITH EDS, THE BENDY BENDY OUCH CHRONIC ILLNESS. I LEGIT STARTED CRYING BECAUSE FINALLY SOME REPRESENTATION IN MODERN LITERATURE!!

“I wish I had more tnt!” Is fintan and nobody can convince me otherwise

“I wish you’re mom had been a little stronger/I wish she’d stayed around a little longer/I wish you’re dad were good/I wish grown-ups understand/I wish we’d met before they convinced you life was war/I wish you’d come with me-” GUYS dead girl walking (reprise) from heathers the musical is SUPER sokeefe coded

My 13 year old sister will go on and on about her depression and how she needs a service dog for it and at the same time she resents me/the attention I get because of my physical disability. Like yea, your mental health is important, but so is my ability to walk???

the saddest, most ableist losers alive post things like “my mental health impacts my physical health so actually I AM crippled by my depression!!!” and then turn around and scream about “ableminded” quadriplegics and paraplegics and cancer patients. cuz they cannot fathom these things impacting those ppls mental health. because they’re deranged and ableist as fuck and don’t care about anyone else
