I went earlier than that and knew of these problems, except transgender. They were called transvestites, and autists were called retarded.
I didn't realize until a few years ago that I was retarded, so technically I DID go to school with an autistic kid.
I'm talking about the poor ones who can't do anything. The high functioning ones were "different." But since there was not an "autism" definition, everyone had to be put in an existing box, and "retarded" was an acceptable one then.
I'm not offended by the retard label. I managed to function retardedly with some success. In hindsight, I'm really glad I wasn't diagnosed early.
