We're not becoming more aware of neurological differences and diagnosing, we're just becoming less tolerant. Change my view.
I dunno man, it felt pretty intolerant of people who treated me poorly back when I was just considered "weird", compared to how I'm treated now that I have a known condition. I feel way more accepted now than back before people understood what this all was. Now I have all kinds of tools to help me cope that I never had access to before.
People were intolerant before you found a socially acceptable label/role. But nothing was actually diagnosed or treated.
I'm glad it worked out for you!

Less tolerant? No, the skull crushing machine is just running out of its favorite foods. Welcome to the menu.
