Pretty much every mental diagnosis that exists is a case of something completely normal which presents in too extreme (or too muted) a fashion in the given individual. The criteria for diagnosis isn't just whether you experience X, but whether X has a significant negative impact on your life.
Forgive my ignorance, but isn't that how all people's brains work, except it's harder for ADHD peeps to regulate?

That was my intuition, thanks!
