I was in elementary school in the 70’s.
My experience:
Did not know ONE autistic child.
No one had a gluten allergy.
No one had peanut allergies.
No one had milk allergies.
No one was bouncing off the walls from ADD or ADHD.
No one had autoimmune diseases at that age.
No inhalers on the playground.
Anyone else?
1 peer with a peanut allergy and 1 peer with spina bifida that I grew up with. Also, 1 peer that had a rifle mounted across the back window of his truck that parked on school grounds and nobody thought was odd. The high school had a courtyard where people still smoked during study hall until late 80s maybe.
High school, in central KY, 1970’s. Every farm boy, had 4 wheel drive with gun racks, displaying his weaponry!! About 25% of vehicles in school lot! Lol Perfectly legal, no one breaking into vehicles like now either!
