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?
I was in junior school in the 60s, and, we had one girl who was allergic to milk (lactose intolerance), otherwise, we had the usual sicknesses, measles, mumps, chicken pox, German measles....
I remember one of the boys on my housing estate, getting measles, and we all went to his house to catch it.
Nothing like your own natural immunity.
