What’s your take? I’m not sure if I know of an historic case of it like IDK maybe 200 or 150 years ago but nowadays I have several cases near of autistic people, so what do you think is old or new?

I was “easily distracted” and “underperformed” and “could do better” at school. Always the “weird” kid. Only diagnosed when I was an adult because “autism” just wasn’t really a thing*. This was 40+ years ago. The general treatment approach was getting The Belt haha or sent to my room, or sent to my gran’s, or sent “out to play”.
*edit: when I was a kid
That sounds exactly like my story though, by the looks of it, I am a bit younger than you.
