Everyone has a little trouble regulating themselves, some people have a little more trouble, some people have enough trouble that it becomes a disorder.
Absolutely this. A normal range of feeling / experience isn't a "bit of a disorder" ... it is no disorder.
Feeling like you need to wash dirt off your hands before eating isn't a "bit of OCD", that's normal.
Worrying irrationally so much about clean hands that it ruins your life, leaving you crying from normal tasks like cooking ... every touch of a surface triggers fight/flight ... is a disorder.
It isn't the mechanism that's important, but the impact and motivators.
Same with ADHD. A bit of being inattentive or forgetful or whatever ... isn't a "bit" of the disorder that also contains some of those behaviours in extreme.
In many cases it is not a differing underlying cause but simply the same thing further out of balance. Psychiatry diagnoses are essentially never based on a mechanistic explanation and I challenge you to come up with an actual binary change present in those with adhd and those without besides the latter having somebody put that label on them.
