So. I was just wondering. I am not sure if I am an autist. But if i try to pretend I am, this thought feels kind of comfortable. I think thats because it feels like I can stop pretending to be someone else in so many areas since i always act upon learned and manifested observations about ‘correct’ human behaviour i made throughout my life. What do you guys think about that?
Yes, this joint and movement is part of Beighton Score which is a measure of hypermobility and a sign of a connective tissue disorder. I won’t go as far as saying that if you’re hypermobile then you’re autistic but I know plenty of autistic people and almost all are hypermobile. When I was researching a hereditary condition that could run in my family (turned out to be correct) I spoke to some I haven’t been in contact for a long time and got surprised reactions like how did I know they could bend like rubber or how did I know grandma could too.
Thanks, very informative.
