[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"They never had these things when you were growing up"[/quote] Sigh. I can document a family history of ASD to the 1920s. In my family, my grandma always said that there was something wrong with my uncle. I adored him and I always felt bad that she said that, but now I know that she meant that he had an ASD. My mom identified my son's symptoms as being just like her brother's behaviors. My grandma knew something was different/wrong with my uncle but she didn't have a label for it when she was raising him in the late 50's and early 60's. My grandfather's family always said that there was nothing wrong with my uncle, but that he was just "iike Pete." Pete was one of my grandpa's brothers. I think he probably had an ASD, too. Pete and my grandpa grew up in the 20s and 30s. [/quote]
