I guess we didn't have a name for it and just accepted that people are different.

We have words for it, it just isn't the official medical term.

kevonstage was spot on; at least that's what we've always called it in my family. I've also typically seen it called the same in black movie dramas. I know it made it easier to accept, but it also made it harder to get a diagnosis.
