Take him to his pediatrician. That is a clinical diagnosis that can be made on a physical exam.
There are many forms of EDS. It is a connective tissue disorder so generally the skin is looser and the joints may be loose/ hyper mobile. May have bouts of joint pain. Some forms of EDS include Mitral valve prolapse (leaky heart valve).
