© 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 Most modern reading systems are designed around a narrow set of neuro-visual and anatomical assumptions. They presume a brain that is left-hemisphere dominant for language, a visual system that comfortably tracks from left to right, and a body whose fine motor control aligns with right-handed writing.

© 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
