The best way I've heard it phrased is: "The qualifier for diagnosis is how hard you make things for other people, not how hard it is for yourself"
Even if you struggle every single day, pushing yourself to the brink with stress just trying to fulfill your basic responsibilities, if you succeed then it's not "enough" of a problem.
Doesn't help that there's absolutely no forgiveness if you happen to be much better about one normal symptom than the average.
