Drawing on her current research, she discusses systemic barriers, diagnostic delays, and the impact on mental health, while also reflecting on embodiment, identity, and resilience.

Late-diagnosed autistic in adulthood and living with hEDS, Sarah combines academic expertise with lived experience to highlight the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals with hypermobility conditions.
