@unstereotypicalautism: The first person ever diagnosed with autism just died at 89 years of age. His name was Donal Triplett and he was diagnosed by Leo Kanner in 1938. His diagnosis changed the history of all autistic people. Autism always existed, but autism diagnosis is only a recent discovery. Rest in peace Donald.
