Hypermobility (Double jointed) Question

[Bluehalite]

Hi,
I just want to ask how many INTP's are double jointed or when standing, their knees bend back, or have tendons that are someone weak?
I did not realize there is a correlation between Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Autism/Neurodivergence, but there IS.
It can cause issues later in life, like knee caps going out of whack, or frozen shoulders, or feet and hands that hurt or feel arthritic, but its actually a genetic issue affecting tendons.

I wasn't really that aware that I was double jointed, but apparently I am.
You just should be aware of this medical issue and might want to see a rheumatologist to diagnose it, as there are important exercises that you need to do to stay mobile later in life.

The Relationship between Autism and Ehlers-Danlos Syndromes/Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders - PMC

Considerable interest has arisen concerning the relationship between hereditary connective tissue disorders such as the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS)/hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) and autism, both in terms of their comorbidity as well as ...

I have pretty normative body in terms of mobility. If I stretch a lot I get more range, but thats about it.

if someone has poor executive functioning, learn more about
Genomeitall.com. For genetic testing of mthfr mutation.

Definitely remove ALL folic acid and synthetic B’s. They can also be found in energy drinks and vitamin waters!

Lower your toxic load. Use glass storage containers over plastic, glass water bottles over metal, high end stainless steel pans over nonstick, filter fluoride and other toxins out of your water, eat mostly organic whole food, lower chemical exposure.

************
Test:
Allergy
Histamine intolerance?
Heavy metals
Mold exposure
Parasitic infection.
Mineral deficiencies
Candida
Biome

Medications?
Immunizations?
How is the diet? Afrid?

Clear pathways. Detox body if needed from any or all of the above. Remineralize body.

If anyone has poor executive functioning, these are things to Learn about:

Personal demand for autonomy (PDA)
Rejection sensitivity dysphoria.
Burnout
Paralysis
Regression
Rebounding.
Special interests?
Hyper focus?
Neurodivergence.
Mthfr gene expression? Any mutations?
Mast cell?

Monitor Food intake, get out in nature. Walk. Dance like s.

Are there any sleep patterns that stand out to you?

Like patterns of being awake in the night?

Ermi test for mold in home.
OATS test for urine.
Genesight test or a more thorough one to determine further genetic mutations and COMT.
Heterozygous or homozygous?
How many? And what?

Executive function:
Executive function is focused in the prefrontal part of the brain and this area is responsible for a range of higher-order cognitive processes that are essential for:
* … planning
* … decision-making
* … controlling impulses

Key roles of the prefrontal cortex:
* … Planning and Decision-Making: It helps us set goals, develop plans, and make decisions.
* … Impulse Control: It helps us resist impulses and act thoughtfully.
* … Working Memory: It allows us to temporarily hold and manipulate information in our minds.
* … Cognitive Flexibility: It enables us to adapt our thinking and behavior to changing circumstances.

Because the prefrontal part of the brain is involved in controlling impulses a person with poor executive function might be at a greater risk of suicide. The prefrontal cortex is often dysregulated in individuals with suicidal ideation or behaviors. This can lead to difficulties in:
* … regulating emotions
* … making impulsive decisions
* … inhibiting harmful impulses which increasing the likelihood of self-harm.

When the prefrontal part of the brain is hypertrophied [swollen] it is inflamed and not able to function optimally. This swelling, also known as cerebral edema, can disrupt the delicate balance within the brain and lead to various cognitive and behavioral deficits.

MOLD EXPOSURE:
The frontal cortex can become hypertrophied due to mold toxicity. Mold exposure can cause inflammation in the brain and nervous system, which can lead to cognitive and emotional dysfunction, including memory loss, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating. Some studies suggest that mycotoxins [toxins produced by mold] can affect brain function by interfering with nervous system communication pathways and even causing nerve damage.

BRAIN MRI NeuroQuant:
The areas of the brain can be assessed for Hypertrophy and Atrophy by ordering a BRAIN MRI NeuroQuant.
