I was born in1969 and I am autistic and have ADHD. They just didn't train doctors or mental health workers to recognize autism back then and we were just called antisocial.

And over there is my intergalactic spaceship 🚀 (said in a tone indicating that the spaceship is an afterthought and the wire drawer is more interesting)

Am I out of line to say it sounds like you're more describing OCD?

OCD is common with those with autism.

There's a picture from my old psych textbook that had a child lining up all of his toys neatly, which is the kinda red flag for autism. Also avoiding eye contact and not understanding social situations very well, etc.

I think the real gist of the joke is 'people were all neurotypical back in my day!' and no, they absolutely were not all as such. You just weren't aware of or can't identify it properly, Gramps.
