If it's not affecting you in a negative way then it's not a disorder. If it is then it can be. If it doesn't have serious negative impacts then you're just non-neurotypical which is fine. People have the same opinions around ADHD but when you need accommodation or treatment it's worth classifying it as something that needs some level of accommodation or treatment.

"Normal" people get all sorts of accommodations and treatments - the world is set up to support their needs. People with different needs, who need different accommodations are then labeled as having a "disorder". It's a biased system which doesn't allow for normal variations between types of people.
