Any mental illness could be regarded as a type of diversity. Or even literally everybody since all of our brains are unique.

Everybody has already mentioned that, actually, neurodivergence isn't exclusive to ASD and ADHD!

As for your point about it being for everybody, that is definitely a heated argument. You could argue that neurodivergent conditions were created, in part, to separate them from the "normal" people (especially in earlier times), but you could also say that having a good classification means you can better help people who have these sorts of conditions (especially in modern times! We are in a golden age of accessibility!)

Speaking as somebody who was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome as a kid, now part of ASD :D
