They had all of it, they just lumped it all in with Down Syndrome and colloquially referred to any neurodivergent people as retards.

And they beat the shit out of these "retards", and at the suggestion of doctors/principals the parents sent them to military school/boarding school/catholic school/mental institutions where they got the shit beat out of them. All they learned was how to hide their condition and suffer in silence.
