Hi I'm a mam of 2 young kids both being assessed for Autism. I'm chronically ill with Fibromyalgia and Joint Hypermobility Syndrome plus a few more. Really would love to chat and make friends as I don't have any close friends tbh just my partner. Thanks xx

Hi @Shellatron2019 - Welcome to the community. Thank you for joining. Oh, I can relate a little as I have the hypermobile type of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.....got the hypermobile joints! Others here have got fibromyalgia, which does seem an awful thing to live with. Yet others are on the Autistic spectrum, or with children affected by it, so I think you'll find plenty of us to chat to.There are some really friendly & helpful people here, & we try to support each other. I hope to hear from you again soon, & please say if you have any questions.
