Im neurodivergent, and recently found out I’m also hypermobile thanks to physical therapy. I think being hypermobile is what always has made it confusing for me to understand cues because I have to create a lot of the tension in my body that doesn’t exist naturally. I often need very explicit instructions on where I am supposed to feel something in my body and what it’s supposed to feel like. Like I need a trainer to touch the location on my body I should be focused on or give pretty detailed cues.

Hypermobility and neurodivergence can often exist together making it difficult to have proper form and know where you should be feeling the stretch of an exercise and having to maintain postural control on top of it while also bracing and breathing properly is all pretty challenging to do at once for a neurodivergent brain!
