I think one of the important things folks also forget is that true diagnosis of a mental disorder usually requires it to be significantly negatively impacting a life function. For neuro developmental disorders its phrased “negatively impacts directly on social and academic/occupational activities.”
So just because you read a list and see some of the traits within yourself doesn’t mean you have a “disorder.” I relate to a lot of ADHD lists, but I’m very much functional without meds.
