>Before then, yes, autism was only recognized when it was severe. Those who had better coping abilities just got wedgies and swirlies at school. It just resulted in the teachers calling them disordered and sending extra staff to smother and socially stunt the students they deemed to have Aspergers, and then stopping this before puberty occurred, resulting in even more wedgies and swirlies. However, we started calling these students disordered, and let everybody know certain students who got bullied weren't victims of school neglect or other students or cultural norms, but of their disordered brains. So woke! We live in such enlightened times.
