“Like Horses With Blinders”

Could it be a marker and maybe a treatment for autism?

Why hasn’t anybody thought of this before?

The same way someone who has lost his keys looks under the streetlight.

Systems in the human body are webs. They aren’t linear.

Many illnesses are attributed to one cause, but any other cause can come along and make it worse.

When we understand non-linear ways of thinking, then we will start to understand the complexity of the human body.
