Undiagnosed autism

Yellow tree 118

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.

    Yep.

    Went to school predominantly in the 90's. There was a "thick table" in every class and year. Anyone who had what would be undiagnosed Autism and requiring adaptations or additional assistance would be assigned to the thick table. Even though I had an IQ of 156 at the age of 12. I was resident of the thick table in just about every class.

    No time, no money, no staff. Blaa blaa blaa. Excuses excuses. Just a grossly insufficient and entirely not fit for purpose education system.
