Did anyone else here miss out on a diagnosis? Is there anyone from the 60s 70s or 80s who never got diagnosed and had autism back in the old days when no one knew anything about it? I find this really interesting. I missed diagnosis in school in the 2000s. It’s much better recognised now a days.
Despite things like having selective mutism and genuinely preferring to be ill over going to school, nothing was ever done to investigate my 'oddness' as a child. I was reasonably academically talented and only autistics with intellectual disabilities were diagnosed at the time (mid to late 1960s).
