Listen Later

Did you know that if you are Autistic, there are certain physical health conditions you might be more likely to be born with and develop? Both Kitty (she/ here) and Erinn (they/ them) have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), a connective tissue disorder. As well as this Kitty has Epilepsy, and Erinn FND... both have plenty of other co-morbidiities too, and plenty to chat about! An important episode if you're Autistic and experiencing some mystery health problems. There is a serious lack of awareness for many of these conditions in Ireland. Watch and share and sub/ follow, to help us reach more people that might need this life-saving information. YOU could be a "medical zebra"... see links below.
