20 years ago, when my step kids were young, people also said ADHD and Autism was a "fad" and "overdiagnosed".
People have been talking like this since at least the 90's and always claiming it's a new, recent, thing.

Plus, before it got the name ADD (and after, ADHD), it was studied by the names "Hyperactive child syndrome", "Hyperkinetic reaction of childhood", and a few others. This has been recognized and studied for over a century.
