I don't fit any of those descriptions. They are far too specific and that they describe what people at each level should be able to do is not helpful. As you say, what is the evidence for this?

I note that some 'emotional/behavioural symptoms' have been included. This is taking the description of concussion in a different direction which is not what (as I understand it) neurologists would test/be looking for. see my post here from a while ago...

physio-pedia pretty awful entry under chronic fatigue syndrome. the good news is it says that it is currently under review. https://www.physio-pedia.com/Chronic_Fatigue_Syndrome

He and the others keep changing their tune to try and save face. There are many instances where SW has more than inferred that ME doesn't exist, and one of the prime reasons for 'changing the name' to CFS was to 'reclassify' it as a mental illness. I am reminded of Nigel Speights comments in...

It's funny that KK also made a 'thing' of David not being a medical doctor....... so what medical qualifications or for that matter, journalistic qualifications does she hold? (I can only find that she has a BA in Russian and German [on Linkedin]).
