Well, one contributing factor is that now it’s cool to be autistic and/or neurodivergent, so people want to claim they are autistic.

Correct. Autism has gone from being a malady principally affecting young males to one that primarily affects LGBT females in their 20’s.

Hidden in the deets is also the mention of delayed parenthood (in other words- aging eggs)
Wonder the average age of parents with autistic children. I hope this isn’t the case, certainly there was not an awareness of this potential.
