Language matters and evolves. Our terminology card sets out short plain definitions of the terms we use, from neurodivergence and neurodivergent through to neuro-affirmative. We connect and neuro-affirmative language recognises hypermobility and neurodivergence as interconnected aspects

🪣 Some days you wake up and the bucket is already filling. Heart pounding. Dizzy. Exhausted. Anxious. Then the day begins and the little things start adding up. Dysautonomia. Hypermobility. Neurodivergence. You don't always get to start the day with an empty bucket.

Here is a cost nobody counts. A person with #hypermobility #neurodivergence moves between services for years. Getting the whole person right costs less than getting the parts wrong for a decade. #ActOnNCDs #LeadOnNCDs #sedsconnective CC BY-SA 4.0
