Have you read the PDF? It is whichever of the choices explains your lack of success in the real world, and this then brings relief from blaming yourself for that.
Really, that's it. Read the PDF.
The article even acknowledges that psychiatrist answer is wrong, and that all of the above are on a spectrum and nobody is ADHD-free or 100%-autist. This is not a problem because the answer is not meant to be correct, but only to be helpful and to "alleviate shame to enable people
to achieve their fullest potential".
So there isn't even an answer.
Which, judging by your post, I'm guessing you will find a deeply unsatisfying way to look at the world, as you sound like someone with a positivist view (facts are correct and everything is true or false, you either have ADHD or not, and even on a spectrum there's a number. But there isn't)
My anecdotal observation, that also applies to me as well, is that people who see faults in other people are seeing their own faults in other people. You have not read paper carefully enough and went for a start and end, where usually best bits are, but in this case the best part is in the middle:
"My hypothesis is that that those who remain most affected by childhood trauma in
adulthood and seek treatment for it represent a population more
likely to have innate neurodiversity."
