I was never around in the 60's, let alone the 50's. But I do know the struggle with the stigma today, especially facing it personally, with people who don't understand--and not to sound like the stigmatized, stereotypical teenager. Some people still don't get it. It's real. And if I ever have a child who has issues, I, too, will bend over backwards and try out contortion until my child gets the help I was once denied and that they deserve. I don't understand the whole 'just because you can't see it' thing people use to cover things up with. I'm sorry to anyone who has to hide at the cost of family or just protecting themselves.
