We had children like this when I was growing up.
They weren’t called autistic and sent to therapists and given drugs.
They were called brats and sent to their dads and given ass-whippings.
The ones called autistic back then sat on the floor and rocked back and forth and usually couldn’t talk.
good point I had forgot about that.
I do agree that SOME kids classified as ‘Autistic’ are simply the result of ZERO fathering. Like President 0banga.
Yes, in recent years they changed the diagnostic criteria. Now, a whole bunch of disorders are classed as “Autism Spectrum Disorders” because the shrinks think they are related.
What used to be called “autism” is only the most severe end of that spectrum. That’s one of the main reasons why there seems to be an “autism epidemic” nowadays, because we include so many other behavioral and personality disorders under that term now.
Nowadays, dads get sent to jail for that, kids taken away, etc. because the Social Serpents know so much more than the parents. Yes, there are real cases of abuse, but spare the rod and spoil the child.
