Original Note:
Prior to 1980 Autism was widely diagnosed as schizophrenia. Further revisions to the diagnostic criteria in '87, 94, 2000, & 2013 broadened the criteria. https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/evolution-autism-diagnosis-explained/ Because of this practice, autistic people prior to this shift in diagnosis were largely locked up in institutions. https://www.spectrumnews.org/features/deep-dive/the-missing-generation/
