    Every person I’ve known in real life who has said “everyone has a little ADHD” had A LOT of ADHD but never realised they could get help.

      I’ve been that person in my childhood. Same about autism. Same about a few other things I talked about like this.

    If considering yourself ADHD without the diagnosis and adjusting your way of living accordingly makes your life easier then what’s the problem? Techniques used for controlling any kind of mental divergence kinda work for everyone regardless of their exact circumstances

      If All human characteristics exist on a spectrum then it makes sense that those techniques which some people need all of the time would be of value to some of the people some of the time.

      No harm in that at all. My recognising my bad days doesn’t stop me from recognising someone hard life.
