Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential relationship between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and joint hypermobility (JH) in a cohort of 67 non-syndromic children, aged 2-18 years, with varying levels of cognitive impairment and autism severity.
- Findings reveal that a noteworthy percentage (63% of ages 2-4 and 73% of ages 5+) of ASD patients display significant signs of hypermobility.
- The study concludes that joint hypermobility might be a relevant characteristic in ASD patients, suggesting that it should be evaluated to enhance rehabilitation strategies, though no strong link was found between hypermobility and cognitive or autism severity scores.
