Is there any consensus on this idea or is it just a nice graphic made by a well meaning person?
there isn’t a clear consensus of any of this. it’s all very fuzzy correlations.
there is the counter-argument too that these diagnoses are overdiagnosed, especially in boys, due to environmental/cultural changes in our expectations of their behaviors.
I was definitely over overdiagnosed or misdiagnosed when I was young and because the adults in my life were and still are very prideful, wont admit any mistakes were made. I wish I was allowed to fail classes and was just left alone.

I believe this idea is gaining traction based on the historical rates of left-handed people (article).
When being left-handed was a cultural faux-pas there were less left-handed people. When the culture shifted away from beating left-handed people, suddenly the number of left handed people sky-rocketed in the short term before settling at its true natural number in the long-term.
