If you are well organized, it is a healthy trait. no one would say you are "on the OCD spectrum".. but when that trait gets out of hand we would say you have OCD, and likely would be diagnosed as such.

I see (autism) ASD and ADHD as much the same way. Most people diagnosed with it who are high functioning dont really have it at all. It is just a personality trait and all in all a positive one. high-functioning ASD are just people without social hangups, good. And people with ADHD who are high-functioning are largely just amazing multi-taskers.

The harm in putting people on a spectrum is they see themselves asa diseased, broken, something that needs "consideration.. they arent, in most cases in the right proportions these "diseases" are in fact just super powers, things more people should wisht hey have really.

That's not my point of view.
First, you don't even get a formal diagnosis if you are just high functioning and don't have any problems (at least in my country, Germany). On the Opposite, there are so many struggling day to day who are not formally diagnosed.

If you have ADHD/ASD, even when you don't struggle at the moment, there is a higher risk, so it is better to prevent possible negative outcomings. You don't lower that risk by calling those people "healthy" or "super powered".
