Do you think neurotypical people often go, "I would like to spend significant time and money to get an autism diagnosis"?
I don't think it's particularly common. When I went through my dx, I was really hoping for adhd because then I could get meds, but my doc and all my screenings were like, "definitely not adhd, definitely autism".
So, maybe you are seeing rising diagnosis rates and considering that too easy? If encourage you to think about why you feel this way.
