I know one study found celiac is increasing, not just being diagnosed more (although it is also being diagnosed more). I'm not sure of other autoimmune diseases

  Another example of an autoimmune disease that has been becoming more common (not just more frequently diagnosed) is type 1 diabetes (T1D). (From March, 2020): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7146037/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7146037/ (Increased diagnostic capability seems unlikely to be a factor in T1D's prevalence -- when it is triggered, untreated T1D leads to obvious and serious symptoms (eventually death through ketoacidosis) over the course of months. It's not something you can just ignore and power through; treatment is required to survive.)
