FWIW, I think we do know the reason for the increasing prevalence of autism diagnoses. The standards changed.

We now have a very limited definition of "normal" as well. I used to just be "interesting," "passionate," etc. Now I'm "neurodivergent." It's way better than being "normal,' but the labels are tiresome. They've made us intolerant.

I’d guess you are still interesting and passionate!

Certainly I dance to my own drummer. Try as some might, you can't beat uniqueness of someone. They might hide it, but it's still there.
