Then the pre-school teacher told my mother over the phone that I'd NEVER do well in school, yet I was always one of the best students in later years... after finally accepting elementary school as a boring part of my life, and my urge to escape subsided. Then I was later gung-ho about school, when it FINALLY got interesting with science and more advanced math classes.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if autism is indeed more prevalent now, given the pressures of division-of-labor where the hyper-focused on a particular activity tend to excel.
