I wasn't diagnosed until I was nearly 40 (๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’). Teachers don't know what they're not taught.

I had the teachers/care givers who would give bad advise and had no idea how to help. It wasn't until later that I learned about stimming.

We need to educate the general public

Same, and both of my parents were teachers, at least one of whom is also autistic.
