The 60s and 70s (for me) had no awareness of my problems. Only now am I discovering that I did what I could, but I wasn’t equipped to deal with people well.
It’s too late for me, but I’m glad kids today have more resources, although the problems are just as hard to navigate.
God bless you all.
Seeing posts like this is always a bit frustrating. Autism wasn’t discovered in the 80s or later, descriptions of it predate WWII. Just a matter of people not caring and some governments being actively hostile… both to the research itself and the people.
