Just to add to your comment, another trend is that people, when mentioning they have a condition like ADHD, OCD, etc, others will pitch in with an "Oh I'm a little OCD too, tee hee!" or "Everybody can be a bit down sometimes!", which is one, not helpful, and two, showing ignorance.

A lot of conditions are normal human traits, but amplified / exaggerated. This makes them understandable to neurotypical people, but also easily trivialized and misunderstood.
