or it could be that ADHD is a spectrum with most people having some symptoms of it even if it's not very disruptive.

The better question is how many of the people in these groups have been medically diagnosed?

The groups were already split in my comment. How many emails in your inbox are in your inbox? All of 'em :P

I get the arguments for self-diagnosis but really it's self hypothesis. I only say diagnosed if they're medically diagnosed. Even doctors shouldn't be self diagnosing

ADHD is a spectrum sure but it has a low-end cap due to the second D, disorder. No disorder, no diagnosis, no ADHD. I'd love to have the same brain wiring without the disorder
