youtube/watch?v=5hfYJsQAhl0 And Temple Grandin was seen as a very rare and unusual person. I was also born in 1950. There were no children with autism at any of the 14 different schools I attended between kindergarten and 8th grade (we moved a lot). Nor were there families with children in the cellars or attics or special homes. This was the baby boom generation and everywhere I lived there were mobs of kids. And there were children with problems. I knew one girl who had been a blue baby. She looked slightly odd. One of my brothers had a friend who was diabetic. This was quite rare and unusual in those days. And I knew one girl who was adopted. Yeah, it is possible that I missed a few quirky children who had Aspergers but overlooking 50 or 60 or 70 children who stimmed? Who couldnt talk when they were in elementary school? Actually, the 5 in my family were the quirkiest around, most of the time. We had no TV, we ate whole wheat bread and brown rice, we read a lot of books. That was what passed for quirky in the 1950s.
