[QUOTE="Malika, post: 428445, member: 11227"] I was talking about ADD rather than ADHD. I think one of the problems here is that some years ago, I gather (when?), hyperactivity, which used to be a discrete diagnosis was put in with ADD to become ADHD... Personally I think this is sometimes problematic and leads to misleading diagnoses. If one thinks about it, it is the elements that go along with hyperactivity - impulsivity, over-enthusiastic invasion of other people's "space" - that lead to the social problems that can go along with ADHD. I would imagine, from my non-expert position, that it would be perfectly possible to be ADD and have no problems with social skills. [/QUOTE]
