The terms ADD and ADHD describe the same neurotype. "ADD" is an outdated term that once referred to people who struggled with focus but weren't hyperactive.
ADD symptoms include inattention, executive dysfunction, and distractibility, whereas ADHD symptoms include hyperactivity, impulsivity, and recklessness.
