8. Agreed

I worked in an institution for the developmentally disabled for 3 decades starting in ‘78 and most of the folks I worked with were born in the ‘30’s and 40’s and while I didn’t know at the time I witnessed many of the characteristics now associated with autism. You’re also correct we didn’t have a name for it then, every symptom folks had was under that one very broad term, the “R” word. Theres true irony in the MMR vax causing autism when the mere fact that pregnant women catching measles was the cause of so many babies born with disabilities. I read hundreds of case histories of disabled folks and there was a common thread, the mothers caught measles in the first trimester of pregnancy.
