[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 462023, member: 11791"] MWM - The split between ADD and ADHD-inattentive type gets argued at the professional level. The actual label is not the point. The reality is, you CAN have difficulty managing your attention - without the "impulsive". Now, not sure if you can really be ADD without some form of hyperactivity... I have a daughter who is absolutely over-the-top ADD. She can look the teacher straight in the eye - and be "somewhere else" at the same time. Classical "inattentive". ADD, or ADHD-inattentive, take your pick. But... she does get hyper... not in "climbing the walls", but as in... talking your ear off... and you REALLY notice it when she is... tired, stressed, or missed her medications. We've been told you can't be ADHD without some form of inattentiveness - that gets argued too. Back in the "old" days, ADHD was a "boy" label, and usually involved hyperactivity at some level, and ADD was a "girl" label - there is some trend to that split, but boys can be ADD and girls can be ADHD. Guess that might be a longer version of HaoZi's response! [/QUOTE]
