Managing chronic pain and illness with neurodiversity? You're not alone. Here are three tips that might help you find relief and comfort on your journey. Swipe for insights from our community members.
The Tips:
- The vagus nerve system can counteract that 'fight or flight' stress feeling. Deep breathing, foot massage and cold water immersion are some ways to stimulate it.
- Mindful Movement and Gentle Exercise: Move with intention. Engage in gentle exercises like yoga or walking to promote flexibility and ease. Find your rhythm for well-being, not someone else’s.
- Open Communication with Your Support Network: Connect and confide. Sharing your challenges with loved ones creates a strong support system. If you need a more robust support system, join our free support group!

Hopper Health is centering the lived experiences of our community to help others better understand neurodivergent identities - especially when coupled with chronic illness. Stats show us that 34% of autistic individuals avoid getting healthcare for a serious or life threatening medical situation. We’re on a mission to change that. The first steps toward change are always awareness and community, so we want to hear from you! What are some things you wish that your care team or support system knew about living with chronic illness as a neurodivergent person that could have prevented harm?

Tag a friend who can relate! If we don’t laugh, we’ll cry, right? We're all learning about our neurodivergent identity together, and laughter is what will carry us through as we work to change healthcare to be more inclusive of our community.
