[quote=Anonymous]The historical perspective seems to be lacking here. There was a time not very long ago (1990s, when I was in school), when an autism diagnosis was extremely rare. It was only given to the very most impacted children, as in “Rain Man.” I volunteered at a residential school for autistic teens. At that time, people may be surprised to hear, a much more common diagnosis was “mental r-tardation.” Huge numbers of kids were put into that category. Here is a document: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00040023.htm The kids haven’t changed. They are being labeled differently.[/quote]
