Hey the term ADD is outdated and we stopped using it medically in the late 80's. They are considered sub-types of the same problem but we identify them differently now. There are 3 category's we generally use to identify the types under the ADHD umbrella.
- Primarily inattentive
- Primarily hyperactive-impulsive
- Combined
Sorry if you already knew this just something I've had to deal with for a few years now and the issue with people not understanding they present differently but are the same (for the most part).
