What do Autism & Fibro have in common?

They are both syndromes!  So, why is it then, that critics don't say Austism isn't real?  Both Autism and Fibro exist based on characteristics.  I guess its because Austism characteristics can be seen and heard, and can also show physical symptoms.  But, there is no clear cut test or cure.  There is some subjectivity when trying to determine where a person might fall on the spectrum.

Austism awareness campaigns have been hugely successful.  Most people are familiar with Autism and it is very rarely disputed as a fake disease. 

Fibro is very similiar in that there is a "spectrum".  Symptoms can range from mild to severe.  There are common characteristics for diagnosis, but each individual responds differently to treatement.  Each person experience fibro a little bit different.  It would be interesting to take all the fibro symptoms and put them on a spectrum and try to classify each person that suffers from fibro on some type of scale.

Just a thought.
