Undiagnosed autism

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.

  • Back in 90’s and 2000’s in Poland people had idea of autism to be caused by vaccines or bad parenting. So I actually feel like my mom saved me by giving the answer to my teacher “my daughter is perfectly normal, just like me!” :-) I heard one more time as a kid, that I’m probably autistic, but nothing was done about it. I suffered a lot while growing up
