I'm with you, I think these cannot possibly be disorders if so many people have them, and certainly not if you're living a normal life. People sometimes say they're "high-functioning X", but that just means you're normal. I talk about some of the behaviours I have here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39049655 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39049655
> I have a bunch of odd behavioural characteristics too that overlap with mental conditions: clanging, rocking and stimming, and until my mid-20s if I 'touched' something (including stepping on a tile-edge or crack at an angle) on my one side I had to symmetrify with the other side.
Since my life is otherwise fine, I think it's probably just the normal variance of the species.
