Things Andrew has (inadvertently) taught me

That princess in The Princess and the Pea is definitely autistic, isn't she.

We bendies claim her as one of ours. That sort of hypersensitivity to physical sensation is absolutely classic for Ehlers-Danlos or Hypermobility Syndrome. What she's like with beds, I'm like with chairs ;)

Yes, I have another hypermobile friend who has that superpower with chairs, too.

It's cool that the princess can be a mascot for these kinds of conditions. ;)

It makes a change from zebras*!

* Bendies reverse the 'If you hear hoofbeats, expect horses not zebras' medical aphorism, (which means it takes about 13 years to get an EDS diagnosis on average) and use the zebra for our awareness campaigning.

Ah, I didn't know that! Clever. :)
