This site has some very helpful information for explaining EDS to schools, teachers, family and friends. Especially helpful are the pamphlets geared toward children, found here.
Check out their site for photos that simplify what types of movements fall into the hypermobility category, without having to perform the human tricks to show others. I am curious if Irish ancestry plays a heavy role in the genetic trait. I know we have family from Ireland, if we follow the family tree back a ways, but I don't know where this genetic condition is most common. Check out the great information found on the Irish EDS & HMS site, here, and follow them on facebook for more information to share on rare disease day and EDS awareness month.
