"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

@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. 🙄

@Garwboy @analogfusion Exactly. Just a lot more kids being punished and variously emotionally traumatised for things they couldn’t change.
