Here's an interesting observation
The response by doctors and the general public is about the same for:
People who can't be diagnosed with Celliac without extreme measures
Women who can't be diagnosed with a heart attack without extreme measures
Women who can't be diagnosed with autism without extreme measures.
There can't be much if anything in common between my son's stomach lining, a young womans brain tissue, and an old woman's heart muscle. Oddly enough what they both have in common is the same medical-industrial complex. On a very small scale you can fix one person at a time, with a heart bypass or whatever else, I can't disagree with that. The insight is whatever fixes the "big system wide problem" given the commonality of symptoms it obviously can't be biologic in origin. The problem is inherent in the medical system itself, what it means to be a medical system at all, what it means to be healthy or normal. I think this is missed by people hyperfocusing on one narrow issue, well, all we need is "the official autism test" and it'll all be fixed. Or we need to sell Chinese made pink bracelets to "increase awareness of female heart disease", thats all a waste of time compared to looking at the greater issue (of which I currently have no answer, but I'm also uninterested in wasting my time on half efforts)
