Depth of discipline is a core part of good scholarship and a literal job requirement for professional scholars. If you don't have time to read extensively in your field, you don't have time to be in that field.
That is what makes it your 'area of study' -- being the area that you, y'know, *study*.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in cases like this where formal research simply doesn't exist, aren't personal/autoethnographic accounts of this kind, discussions from within the ignored community, exactly how knowledge starts being organized, and maybe even becoming legible to scholarly institutions?

I think that many do not realize that when people say they will die without the ACA, they are not exaggerating or being dramatic. I take medication daily because without it my body does not recognize when to stop bleeding. So I take medication to "trick" my uterus into thinking I am pregnant.
