The thing that I find curious in discussions about ADD is that there seems to be kind of an assumption that if you have ADD you must be hyperactive as well. I was diagnosed with ADD in 4th grade and took Ritalin until the 7th grade, I believe.
I've never, ever been accused of being hyperactive in my life, although it's well known that it is incredibly easy to distract me. I'm not impatient. I can wait my turn. I don't really fidget very much. It's just that I get distracted so quickly and easily that it can really impede productivity at work and at home.
