Here's the Scientific American article making this argument:
I've actually argued this multiple times myself. Here, I argue that neurodivergence should be part of the school curriculum:

I think self-awareness is important, but I sure hope that people don't get from this that once a neurodivergent kid knows about their own condition, everything is solved.
I'm autistic, yes. I know my limitations, yes. I still need to nap a few times a day, I suffer from insomnia, and I don't aim to return to an office. This does not change from the fact that I know about my conditions.
