Love the speech difficulties content. Wasn’t my professional practice area. Awesome to hear from an experienced OT and A11y tester!
OA osteoarthritis is also common for people with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome(especially hEDS hypermobile EDS) and HSD (Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder).
It’s the dysfunction of the joints and connective tissues caused by faulty collagen, including repeated dislocations, sprains, subluxations (partial dislocations), and etc.
Different EDS/HSD ers experience different levels of hyper flexibility/ joint instability and uneven stresses on different joints.
EDS/HSD tech barriers include keys require too much force to type causing repeated dislocations and subluxations of fingers. Nerve impingement is common for some of us (nerve pain is the worst!). It’s like trying to think with a body part on fire/ being electrocuted. Migraines and dysautonomia (eg POTS) are two common co-morbidities. Light/bright screens, motion, too much contrast (makes colours/ UI components dance/shake). Dark mode, dimming screen, browser extensions (eg dark reader), turning on motion preferences in browser/ OS.
EDS and HSD was thought to be rare. (1 in 5,000+) But we now know that it’s just rarely diagnosed 1 in 500 maybe 1 in 300). Can cause multiple other disabilities including hearing loss, vision loss, and blindness.
I’m behind a week but I’m here! Yesss 🥰
