Well that's exactly the difference between a symptom and a diagnosis.
ADHD has overlap with other conditions, and any one symptom/trait is insufficient to say "it's ADHD". Executive Dysfunction can also be a symptom of ASD, anxiety disorders, burnout, etc.
One needs to relate to many symptoms/traits to make any conclusions. The links I posted are a PSA to raise awareness.
>It's increasingly accepted that ADHD is over-diagnosed
I have been diagnosed last year, aged 34. ADHD may be over-diagnosed in some groups, but it is most certainly under-diagnosed in others (particularly, women with inattentive type ADHD)[1].
