I mentioned it because breast cancer, which is mostly a women's thing, gets a lot of attention, funding, and support. While the more male health issues like prostate cancer and autism, dont.

And what are you doing about this?

And autism isn’t really a public health issue in the same way as prostate cancer is, and I say this as someone on the autism spectrum. Prostate cancer kills people, but it can be treated effectively if detected early, though men tend to not do doctor visits that often. In the case of autism, you are born with it and you live with it and hopefully you can reach a point where you don’t seem too different from the neurotypical. There is no gender-social issue that makes people more or less likely to get it any more than there are any with Down’s Syndrome or Huntington’s Chorea. In the nature nurture spectrum, autism is pretty hard on the nature end of the scale.
