Not what I took away at all, they’re basically saying “your minor problems may be traits of ADHD, but you don’t meet the criteria for a full diagnosis.” They’re specifically criticizing people who say they’re “a little ADHD,” effectively being the gatekeeper rather than advocating against gatekeeping
See, I read “a little ADHD” and could immediately think of real examples of family members, coworkers, and even medical professionals saying the full thing:
“Everyone is a little ADHD, so don’t worry about it so much.”
Or:
“Everyone is a little ADHD, so I totally know what you’re going through.”

“Everyone is a little ADHD, so stop complaining.”
