[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 85806, member: 1550"] I agree with Marcie. I was born in 1953. Nobody thought I had anything so they called me "mental." I raged at home (just like your difficult child's) and failed in school. There was no name for the things that were wrong with me and nobody talked about them back then. I think people hid their problem kids in the house and they were less able to travel when they were teens (not everyone had access to a car), but kids were disturbed since the beginning of time. By teen years, they were put away if "insane." Autistic kids were institutionalized. My friend has an autistic son and they wanted her to institutionalize him as an infant. This was in the 70's!!!! She had money to try to get him help and refused to put him in an institution, but that's what happened to autistic kids back then. Same with the mentally ill. They were there, but never seen and never heard. And they certainly didn't go to school with us! [/QUOTE]
