I think the keypoint to all of this is that there are some so called 'disorders' that are actually highly valuable to society. Creative people who can connect dots like no other often have ADD, incredibly intelligent people have highly functioning autism. Why were these classified as disorders? Because most of the education system goes back to how the military classified and sorted out people suitable for their ranks. Everyone was going to follow a template to be a member of society.
What changed all that? I think a lot has to do less with the end of conscription (which many countries still have), but rather with feminism getting stronger and opening doors for anyone. And IT :)
