If you or someone you know is experiencing a heart attack, new findings suggest that women may face greater challenges in receiving accurate diagnoses. Research reveals that women are 50% more likely than men to be misdiagnosed during a heart attack, largely due to persistent stereotypes that associate heart attacks primarily with men.
Similarly, autism has historically been viewed as a condition that mostly impacts males. This long-standing perception is not only ingrained in public consciousness but is also reflected in various cultural representations of autism. Unfortunately, this belief has led to biases in scientific research, influencing the understanding and study of the condition for decades.
