If you had been diagnosed with ADHD and done any research on it you would know that ADHD and ADD mean the same condition, one is just an older term,
Also if you had ADHD and had ever bothered to seek real treatment like group counseling sessions etc.. you would know that there is no "TRUE" ADHD and that it is only a descriptor for a spectrum of Attention related disorders which we dont know much about.
The sensory processor and information integrator are the causes of the ADD/ADHD spectrum, hyperactivity occurs with people whose problem seems to be based more in information integration,
The point being that you are trying to call yourself a "True" ADHD when in fact there is no TRUE ADHD because it is a generalized term used for describing a whole spectrum of disfunctions for which we still have no specific identifiable cause or malfunction.
Furthermore Your attempt to differentiate between ADD and ADHD as though one is not just as debilitating a medical condition as other is offensive and completely ignorant of the mechanics behind ADHD.
These are the Types of ADHD. right off wikipedia. You wanna talk about ADHD, how about figure out what it is first!
ADHD has three subtypes:[27]
Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive
Most symptoms (six or more) are in the hyperactivity-impulsivity categories.
Fewer than six symptoms of inattention are present, although inattention may still be present to some degree.
Predominantly inattentive
The majority of symptoms (six or more) are in the inattention category and fewer than six symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity are present, although hyperactivity-impulsivity may still be present to some degree.
Children with this subtype are less likely to act out or have difficulties getting along with other children. They may sit quietly, but they are not paying attention to what they are doing. Therefore, the child may be overlooked, and parents and teachers may not notice symptoms of ADHD.
Combined hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive
Six or more symptoms of inattention and six or more symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity are present.
Most children with ADHD have the combined type.
