A number of variables affecting an outcome.  If a Johnny or a Mary did
not act out in classroom settings, that was Ok with a teacher then.

Reflecting back to my K-12 school years, I don't recall someone being
autistic, but most likely yes there were autistic students afoot.

I'm not sure "outsiders" should be involved unless absolutely
necessary.
