This is such a fundamental misunderstanding of History. Autism has always existed. And even the first landmark study of autism was in the 1940s. The math isn’t mathing.

😬 Only Toto made it out unscathed....

Have I told you about the first time I let my daughter walk alone to piano practice? She had to cross a (big-ish) street, so I told her I would walk behind her and observe. At the zebra walk my daughter, like a boss, puts out her palm to signal the oncoming driver to stop. And Björk stops her car.
