What does neurodivergent mean? If there's a spectrum, what is considered normal, and how is that measured?

IANAD, Clinically, the measurement for diagnosis is if symptoms disturb your day to day life. In some countries they need to disturb multiple (1<) spheres of life. (Work, family, health etc.)

Then you'd have people with symptoms, but who's life is not affected by them.

I wonder myself if it's just the first group that is classified as neurodivergent or both.
