Dean Burnett (that brains guy)"We never saw any of this ADHD or autism stuff when I was young!"
You never saw any photos of the surface of Mars back then either, but I'm pretty sure it was still there the whole time
Lance, Enjoying Copious Pollen@Garwboy People just weren't cognizant of this stuff when I was a kid. Anyone aware of the telltale traits today can read my old report cards and notice some blatantly obvious patterns reported in my behavior.
I didn't suddenly become autistic when I was finally diagnosed at 43. 🙄
Kate Watson@Garwboy @analogfusion Exactly. Just a lot more kids being punished and variously emotionally traumatised for things they couldn’t change.
Pavel Å mejkal@analogfusion @Garwboy Unfortunately some of them are not today either. I call it "good old days syndrome", you know, angry nostalgy for times when everything was cheaper, safer, more easy and healthy and colourful, so why not have it today! Just ignore all that science sh*t and new dangerous ideas! Easy as that!
