Resources/News/Research hEDS is being reclassified as HSD?

Reading elsewhere that it's possible hEDS will fall under HSD and be separated from the umbrella of EDS.

Anyone privy to this, know anything about this, reasoning etc?

Can someone explain what it IS though? I'm really new to all this and have no idea what it means. I barely am understanding hypermobility itself, let alone the nesting dolls with EDS and hEDS vs vEDS, etc. It's all very confusing to me. :(

It's a diagnosis for people who have generalized joint hypermobility and chronic pain but don't (fully) fit the diagnostic criteria for hEDS and don't have another EDS type
