When were autistic people considered people by people in society?

I think we were always considered people but many people did (and a considerable amount still do) see us as lesser beings because we were different to them or lacked social skills.
I think even in an autistic society some will treat typical people as lesser because I know some autistic people (mainly on autistic networks) who can't stand typical people because of cultural differences(although our cultural differences are considered strange because we look like everyone from the culture we were born into)

No, in fact ABA is considered to be abusive towards Autistic people.At it's best it is a form of training used to attempt to force an Autistic person to act like they are neurotypical - at it's core it assumes neurotypical is normal and that Autistic people are inferior, as such it is ableist and can teach low self-esteem in Autistic people, it also puts the burden on Autistic people to add to their strain by attempting to pass as neurotypical (rather than encouraging Autistic people to be themselves and encourage wider society to accept Autistic people).
