Thomas Henley is the founder of the Thoughty Auti Podcast and the Aspergers Growth channel, both media hubs for teaching others about autism and mental health. With a wealth of experience in public advocacy and local media, Thomas inspires autistic individuals across the globe with his athletic endeavors, personal experiences and scientific insights.

In this episode, Thomas talks to an autistic couple (Matt & Brandy) about what life is like with Ehler-Danlos syndrome (EDS) and the types of things they do to manage their individual symptoms. Is there a link between autism and EDS? What types of EDS are known about? Which medications and coping techniques help with EDS flares? Why do some find marijuana so helpful for this condition?

We chat about Matt and Brandy's romantic adventure, as well as their individual careers as a top IT specialist and brilliant singer respectively. We also talk about the struggles of getting diagnosed through the medical system, and some of the more negative reactions people can have to the use of wheelchairs and canes.

It's a very long special episode with more guests than we are all used to, but I hope this gives everyone something to binge through during this Coronavirus (COVID-19) isolation period.
