I have attention deficit disorder, but not the hyperactive kind (known as ADHD). Mine is more of the inattentive kind, there is a difference between the two. People who have ADHD can learn how to use their hyperactivity positivily as they become adults. usually, they can come off of medications and cope. People who have innatentive ADD will usually need to stay on their medication for the rest of their lives. For example, if I skip a day without my medication I am just as ADD as before my medication was prescribed to me.
