MODERATORS
IIRC its also common for folks with the 'tism as well. There are a few other sources for this, none of which I can think of at the moment.
A lot of "ADHD" and "Autism" things are actually normal human behaviors but amplified.
My partner is "neurotypical" (inasmuch as that's actually real) and has some "oh that's autism/ADHD" behaviors that are similar to my ADHD but nowhere near as severe.
Humans are a weird bunch. Most of us are normal. Some of us have exaggerated behaviors compared to baseline, but that doesn't preclude baseline from exhibiting similar behaviors.
I actually kind of relate to a bunch of traits typically branded as neurodivergent, I just don't have them necessarily as strongly or as frequently as I get the impression other people do.
Biased by my neuroscientist background, in that I think labels for neurological conditions are appalling imprecise - I wonder whether it's just on the spectrum of all human behaviours I have some that are close to but don't push in to the disruptive territory. I don't know.
