By “youth” I mean the year you graduated high school. So, if you graduated high school in 1970 — then, the decade of your youth will be 1960 – 1970.
This question is prompted by the OP “gm”, who said in my “I hate copf*uks” thread the following; —- ” .. when I was growing up the autism rate was like 1 in a million , now it is 1 out of 85.”
It’s a terrific observation. I can’t recall a single kid in my graduation class of about 425 who was autistic. There were less than 10 kids in the “retarded” (so sorry, that’s what is was called back then — no offense intended) class.
So … what else was very different, either for better or worse. Please give the year of your graduation.
My intent is to use some, or all, of your inputs in a Pictorial Essay.
Thanks.
