ok, but the whole grand parent comment is a comparison to the global population. Those global statistics are not self reported, they're official diagnoses so will also be missing "people reporting they do not have ADHD or autism when they actually do".

That people struggle is an important statistic, but shouldn't immediately be counted as ADHD or autism. There can be other factors at play.

Yeah, but the questions were not about whether one has symptoms or struggles with some:

"I have a concentration and/or memory disorder (e.g. ADHD)"

"I have autism / an autism spectrum disorder (e.g. Asperger's)"
