Different cultural standards. Just like nowadays transpeople are considered normal instead of mentally ill, my country still has the idea that autism is one thing and not a spectrum.

I think gender ideology should tip you off that every time someone says "X is a spectrum", what they really mean is that they want to be included into X even if they're not X.

TL; DR: if only real autists got psychological help and medicines, there would be much much less $$$$$$ to be made. Thankfully, being diagnosed alleged autism is a good way for people to avoid facing their social problems, so win-win: doctors get big money, the person feels like they don't have to change their personality.
