© Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | January 2026 During my first pregnancy, the foetus remained in breech position throughout. As I approached term, NHS clinicians became increasingly insistent on scheduling an external cephalic version (ECV) – a manual procedure to turn the baby into a head-down position. I declined because I had a deep, […]

© Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | January 2026 For systems and for the people inside them, real change starts with recognising reality in its entirety. That is a timely and uncomfortable process; it asks people to sit with things that don’t have immediate answers. To see the scale of what’s wrong, without rushing to

The Spectrum of Mobility: Can a Person be Both Hypermobile and Hypomobile?

© Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | January 2026 While mainstream narratives often frame connective tissue profiles in binary terms – either hypermobile or (rarely) hypomobile – the lived reality is often far more complex. In truth, it is biologically and mechanistically possible for different parts of the same body to express divergent mobility traits.

© Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | January 2026 I want to take a moment to be clear about where I stand when it comes to neurodivergence – especially in relation to inherited vs acquired forms, and how I understand their biological and social dimensions. Neurodivergence is Real – Even When it’s not Diagnosed The

Dyslexia and Hyperlexia: A Spectrum of Expression

© Alexandra Chambers | Neurotopia CIC | January 2026 Most people think of hyperlexia and dyslexia as unrelated – one linked to precocious reading, the other to reading difficulty. However, what if they’re actually two ends of the same spectrum? Not disorders, but neurodivergent communication styles – shaped by the brain’s orientation toward language, meaning,
