In the '70s and 80's You didn't get a DX at all Unless you went to the hospital
DSM was still just a book hadn't been made into laws yet.
A lot of hospitals and doctors had their own diagnosis codes

For example I was in disability services in first and second grade but I didn't get a diagnosis till I was in a developmental ward for 8 months in third grade Even then I was there 6 months before they actually gave me the DX
You didn't have enough medical problems You didn't get DX because you didn't go the hospital. I had seizures.
A lot of kids back then were considered behavioral disorder went to behavioral boot camps or reformatory schools. I was so fortunate to go to the hospital.
