If considering yourself ADHD without the diagnosis and adjusting your way of living accordingly makes your life easier then what's the problem? Techniques used for controlling any kind of mental divergence kinda work for everyone regardless of their exact circumstances
If All human characteristics exist on a spectrum then it makes sense that those techniques which some people need all of the time would be of value to some of the people some of the time.
No harm in that at all. My recognising my bad days doesn't stop me from recognising someone hard life.
Because it trivializes a disorder in the same way that preferring to organizing things being called OCD trivializes the impact that OCD has on people.
Yes, the techniques help more than just the people with the disorder but that doesn't mean everyone has a 'little bit of the disorder'. Washing hands after using the restroom doesn't mean someone 'has a little OCD' either.
