Yeah, I think it's now rather obvious when we were all back in school and we always noticed these kids who were more violent than the rest, got angry at teachers in front of the whole class, threw things, or on the other side the kids who seemed "a little slow" and stupid compared to the rest of the class....all these kids had autism/aspergers on some level.
Back in the 80's and 90's, autism/aspergers wasn't as well known as it is now, so looking back I think a LOT of kids in my middle school and High School had it, but were still in normal public school. These days things would be handled differently.
It's funny, whenever I was younger I always noticed the kids that seemed a little "different" than the rest, and back then people just thought nothing of it. A lot of them were considered loners or whatever, but being withdrawn/introvert is also highly on the autism spectrum.
