Does anybody else feel that over the last ten years or so, neurodiversity has become 'big business' and has lost its focus?

There are some people selling products aimed at us (sensory toys and clothing with low sensory issues) but that is largely a demand finally being met.
Where there is bigger business is in the diagnosis side - the treatment side seems to be underfunded by the NHS or is part of the generally growing area of therapy.
These day there is less stigma in getting a therapist and with the generally lower levels of tolerating discomfort in recent generations there is a dig drive to do something about it.
I don't see medication being used much to treat autists (typically it is co-morbid conditions that get medicated) so there is nothing growing there.
Do you have a market sector in mind when you talk about big business?
