I am working on something similar using a Marxist analysis.
I'm very critical of the "chemical imbalance" model for analyzing mental health issues. Much of how we define neurodiversity is related to someone's ability to work, and is culturally specific. Culture also heavily influences how a neurodivergent person experiences their symptoms (https://news.stanford.edu/2014/07/16/voices-culture-luhrmann-071614/ https://news.stanford.edu/2014/07/16/voices-culture-luhrmann...).
There's definitely a lot of different factors in play that are caused by capitalism - social norms, individualism/isolation, trauma/stress, additional distractions from technology, etc. I'll shoot you an email, but just in case I forget mine is fatimaraj@protonmail.com.
