This is all true. It’s also in addition to the horrific misogyny of the medical establishment. Not only is autism underdiagnosed in women, almost all conditions are understand in women. Including acute heart attacks.

This is partly for sort of valid reasons (they routinely exclude women from clinical trials because of unknown pregnancies putting the baby at risk), partly for stupid but understandable reasons (women are harder to study because of cycle effects, managing trials need to run longer and collect more data, which costs more) and partly because of rank misogyny.

If I were a woman, I’d be terrified of dealing with health care professionals of any kind.

Yep, everything you've said is true too.

I think at this point the conclusion should basically just be that anyone should be rationally terrified to deal with the US healthcare system, as it is broken and corrupt in essentially every way possible.
