No. It's not attention seeking. It's terminology changing to feel less insulting. It used to be normal and abnormal, but one of the definitions of abnormal is: unusual in an unwelcome or problematic way.

So "normal people" became "neurotypical people" and "abnormal people" became "neurodivergent people".

And you're seeing it often because it includes a lot of different things. The autistic spectrum condition (ASC), dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), attention deficit disorder (ADD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, tourette's, etc., all fall under neurodivergent.
