what does that mean? most people have more than 99% identical genes yet we are not clones.
most people don't have a perfect BMI of 23.5 (or whatever is the middle), yet there are clear pathologies on the BMI spectrum, no?
most people could better manage their lives and emotions but most people don't have that severe problems.
the usual diagnostic criteria simply does not apply for most people. the cutoff is pretty high. (problems in multiple spheres of life present before the age of ~14 -- though there's brain damage induced ADHD too)
but of course most people would benefit from some of the ADHD management strategies (which is better time management, planning, organizing things and consistently putting them into their assigned place, cognitive reframing of pervasive bad thoughts, getting a coach, etc.), but at the same time most people would not benefit from being on the usual ADHD meds (maybe they would benefit from some much smaller doses)
