    Exactly.

    Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people,

    They key is “occasionally” - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.

    A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.
