What’s the connection between chronic pain, misdiagnosis, and neurodivergent health?

This week’s episode takes a deep dive into Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and what it reveals about our healthcare system.

On this episode of The Neurodivergent Report, we explore the complex genetic overlap between the neurodivergence spectrum and chronic health conditions, particularly hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS).

From diagnosis delays to hormonal impacts and gender bias, we unpack what it's like to live in a body that’s often misunderstood.

Curious what’s inside:

• What hypermobility actually is and why it takes so long to diagnose

• The strong genetic link between hEDS, ADHD, and autism

• How gender hormones affect symptoms and care

Listen now for coping strategies, community support, and a vision for better systems of identification and care!

This week on The Neurodivergent Report, Sarah sits down with Dr. Nechama Sorscher - clinician, parent, and author of Your Neurodiverse Child - to talk about what it really means to raise and support neurodivergent kids in a world that often misunderstands them.

Curious what’s inside:

🧠 Why girls are so often overlooked in ADHD/autism screenings

💬 The difference between masking and code-switching

🪞 The impact of confidence and community for neurodivergent families

This week on The Neurodivergent Report, Sarah sits down with Gregg Pauletti from NeuroSynchrony Health, a clinic using EEG brain scans and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to support neurodivergent individuals... especially those navigating ADHD, autism, and related cognitive challenges.

Together, they explore the future of mental health care— one grounded in neuroscience, compassion, and individualized treatment.

Curious what’s inside:

• How TMS works and what it actually feels like

• What EEG brain maps reveal about executive function, attention, and impulsivity

• Why treatment for neurodivergent folks must be personalized— not standardized

If you’ve been wondering whether TMS might be a good fit, or are just curious about how brain-based therapies are evolving, this episode is for you. 🧠💡
