When did this autism explosion start? It seems like a pretty "new" epidemic, no?

Like cancer, it's been around for a very long time, it's just that no one gave it a name.
In school, did you have a "special education" class where the "special" kids were put? Where kids who couldn't behave right, or learn right or just handle being with other kids.
Chances are, those kids had Autism, or ADD, or some other disability/disorder that could have been helped.
But back then, they were just dumb, or slow or... well, "special."
