Its the same as people saying "I'm a bit OCD". They aren't.
Having both OCD and ADHD I can tell you that people who say they are "a bit OCD" or "a bit ADHD" have never wished they were dead because their executive function is shot and their emotional regulation is so compromised, and that they're fed up of washing their hands until they bleed.
Everyone has some traits of most disorders from time to time. What marks a disorder is that it is constant, unrelenting, pathological and happiness destroying.
